Since 2000, OCC students have called a set of 32 portable buildings on the north end of campus their library.
Thursday, students will finally be able to walk into their new, $35 million library.
The 88,777-square-foot, two-story library is the largest OCC building and can hold more than 128,000 volumes of books and periodicals.
The new library is being funded by $21 million in state money and $14 million from Measure C, approved by voters in Nov. 2002.
The OCC Friends of the Library had set a $500,000 goal and was well on its way as the new year came in.
