A few Library Study Rooms are in the construction zone and inaccessible, so please be sure reserve a Study Room in advance. Study Rooms seat 2 - 12 students for study, collaboration, and projects. We also have a Quiet Study room inside the Library on the 3rd floor if you need a silent space to study on your own.  Another Quiet Study space is located outside the Libraryon the 3rd floor above the food court. Let us know if you need help finding a quiet place to think, rest, or just hang out!

Library Student Survey

Tell us how you really feel! Please take a moment to answer a few questions so we can learn how you use the Library (or don't), and make the Library even better! Take the Library Student Survey through May 2023. Enter your name for fun raffle prizes. We need your voice!

National Library Week reflection

Do you value access to books, information, and self-expression? Libraries support all kinds of thinking and knowing, and provide resources on important subjects that might be difficult for some people. Over the last few years, books bans and censorship have increased exponentially in the US. Learn more about the Right to Read Day and take action for your own right to read freely.

Upcoming courses with OER/low-cost materials

Thinking ahead to summer and fall? Browse course lists for Summer 2023 and Fall 2023 that use OER or low-cost materials. Spend your money on something more fun than ... textbooks!!

Questions about Library services or resources? Feel free to contact Claire Dannenbaum at dannenbaumc@lanecc.edu or stop by the Library and talk with the friendly Library staff about your needs.

Rachael Carnes was a recent recipient of LCC's Jane King Artist Residency Grant. During her residency she wrote the play "The Long Now." This absurdist comedy is about living in difficult times with little to no functioning social system and the dehumanizing effects of being tied to an unfulfilling job. The Student Production Association will present a developmental reading of the play on Thursday, May 11, 2023, 5 pm at the Blue Door Theater (Building 6). Admission is free with donations welcomed at the door. No reservations needed. Come be part of the future life of this play. Audience feedback will possibly affect future rewrites and future productions of this new play. Appropriate for all ages.
