The Library supports the instructional programs of the college - the teaching and learning process - with information, media and technology resources. It also provides a general information collection in selected subjects that fall outside the scope of present instruction.

The Gateway at the LBCC Library Reference Center is our interface to library Web services.

Our vision statement:
The community college library, the learning commons, will be a welcoming learning space on campus:
A lively, student-centered space for advancing social interactions and dialogue with all types of learning and the world of information
A helpful place for students to come to enhance their knowledge with librarians who assist them in finding, locating, and evaluating information resources
An intellectual center ensuring equitable access to quality, cost-effective resources in a variety of formats, to technology and to services that students need
A collaborative space for students, faculty and librarians fostering self-sufficiency and lifelong learning in research and academic competencies across the disciplines
A comfortable campus space for individual and group work as well as for quiet study in a cultural/edcuational environemnt
