Grand Rapids Community College - Library and Learning Commons

Library and Learning Commons

The Library & Learning Commons (LLC) is located on a hillside in downtown Grand Rapids and offers learner-centered services with the goal of creating successful students capable of continuing their studies or joining the educated workforce of Michigan.

Many professors bring their classes to the LLC both for general research and classroom instruction. The library is supported by a staff of thirteen, half of whom hold professional library degrees. Study spaces are equipped with modern computer workstations, wireless technology, and flexible seating to facilitate collaboration.

Collections include extensive licensed electronic resources and are further enhanced through participation in MEL, the Michigan eLibrary.

Famous quotes containing the words library, learning and/or commons:

    To a historian libraries are food, shelter, and even muse. They are of two kinds: the library of published material, books, pamphlets, periodicals, and the archive of unpublished papers and documents.
    Barbara Tuchman (1912–1989)

    This great purple butterfly,
    In the prison of my hands,
    Has a learning in his eye
    Not a poor fool understands.
    Once he lived a schoolmaster
    With a stark, denying look....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Anybody who enjoys being in the House of Commons probably needs psychiatric care.
    Ken Livingstone (b. 1945)
