Attention:

This Summer no courses are offered at the Escondido Center while our remodeling is completed.

Therefore the Ernest J. Allen Library will also be closed beginning Saturday, May 25th. We will resume services when the Center reopens for the Fall semester.

Featured New Book

1Q84 by Haruki Murakami

Japanese novelist Murakami's opus 1Q84 was published in Japan in three volumes from 2009-2010. The title plays with the Japanese pronunciation of 1984 in this homage by Murakami to George Orwell's 1984.

Set in 1982 Tokyo the main characters are Aomame, a young female assassin, and Tengo, an unpublished novelist. These two stories wind around each other eventually conjoining to tell us everything we need to know about the world today.

The novel won the Goodreads Choice Award for best fiction in 2011.

Did you know that the library has over 11000 ebooks?

Here's one outstanding example:

Multicultural America: An Encyclopedia of the Newest Americans edited by Ronald H. Bayor.

In this encyclopedia editor Ronald Bayor (History professor from Georgia Institute of Technology) oversees 50 alphabetically arranged entries by individual scholars, each focused on an immigrant group. The 30- to 60-page surveys ... are divided into seven major categories that cover geography and history; immigration, especially after 1965; demographics; the group's adjustment and adaptation to the United States and their impact on this country; second and later generations. Bibliographies, recommendations for further reading, and sidebars of immigrant voices are included. These in depth and substantive articles are even more accessible in their ebook version.

The above summary is adapted from a review of the book published in the October 15, 2011 issue of Library Journal.

The Palomar College Library has more than eleven thousand eBooks. Browse our eBooks by following this link. Browse eBooks ...

Who was Ernest J. Allen?

The Escondido Center campus library is named in honor of Valley Center dairy farmer Ernest J. Allen. Thanks to a bequest from Mr. Allen the Palomar College Library built its first 'branch', the Ernest J. Allen Library (EJA), which opened September 22, 1997. To further honor our benefactor the library maintains a collection of dairy memorabilia, including a few items from the Allen dairy. The Palomar College Foundation currently administers investments made with the remainder of Mr. Allen's financial gift. Interest accrued on the funds remains available to further enhance library services to students at the Escondido Center.
