The librarians and staff at the Libraries are dedicated to helping students discover new information, locate resources and learn how best to research a topic. Both campuses offer a wide range of resources to help all students, faculty and community members succeed in their academic and professional endeavors.

Come read with us! This Wednesday, Nov. 4 at 12pm, we will be gathering in the library to read together. Bring your current read, or come ask for recommendations.

The Soar into Reading Challenge goal is for the campus community to collectively read at least 100 books this semester. To participate, submit just one book (outside of class reading) that you read between Sep. 1 and Dec. 11. Click the banner on our website to learn more, or stop in and ask for more information.

See you on Wednesday!

How do you prefer to read? Let us know by submitting any book you've read (outside of required class reading) since September 1! Click the banner on our website for more info.

Participants in our reading challenge have a preference for physical books - proof that print is not dead! Books in digital format are actually the least read, according to our submission data.

Bring your latest read, no matter what format it is, to our next read-in event on Wed., Nov. 4 at 12pm in the library.

Calling all MVCC students! The library needs your help!

We want to see if we can collectively read 100 books before December 11. All you have to do is read one book (not required for class) to help out. The submission form is on the library website.

What counts as a book? Graphic novels, audiobooks, manga, fanfiction, novels, poetry, and more! If you read it, we want to hear about it.
