There was a frog in the Sierra Vista Campus Library yesterday! It may be cliche, but we named him Dewey.
 
After catching him with a plastic cup, we released him in the shade of a tree just outside the 900 building. We noticed he had some sort of lint on him, but it wasn’t tangled around his leg and it didn’t seem to affect his mobility. So, we told him to bring it back in 3 weeks!
 
All sorts of exciting things happen in the library, so make sure to stop by and check it out! We even have books about frogs  😉

Nature is pretty good, but returning your checkouts to the library is even better! Well, that’s how we see it, anyway.
 
All checkouts are due to be returned to Cochise College Libraries by July 20th, 2026. This includes all books and media, laptops, hotspots, and anything else you have checked out on your library account.
 
Remember: you must return laptops and hotspots at the end of the semester and resubmit a new request form for the new semester. Fall 2026 equipment requests open on July 21st.
 
Video Description: 
A serene mountain view with the phrase “Return to Nature” is scribbled over and made to say “return your checkouts to the library,” instead. The library social media tag “Cochise College Libraries” is replaced with “ .” Scrapbook style stickers of a bird, a smiley face emoji, and hearts appear alongside the edits. Calm, classical music fades into energetic rock and roll as the edits begin.
