Martin Luther King, Jr. Library
Library Building CLOSED Until Further Notice.
Welcome!
Currently with Covid19 the Library Building is closed and cannot lend physical books at this time. However, students can access our online resources 24/7 - over 200,000 ebooks, millions of newspaper, magazine and scholarly journal articles in full-text, watch videos, and chat with a librarian 24/7, all online.
Due dates of previously borrowed items are now extended while the Library is closed. No fines will be assessed for the duration of this closing. Feel free to keep the books until library reopens, but if you wish, you can return them to the Temporary Library Book Drop, a large silver box located on North Heliotrope Drive at the southwest end of the Administration Building.
Library resources and services remain available virtually.
Use the Ask-a-Librarian FAQ and chat for assistance with research and other questions. Find more information and resources on our LACC Virtual Library and Student Resource Guide.
The Bookstore has put together an “Advance” Textbook program for students to purchase their textbooks and pay over several months. Contact the LACC Campus Bookstore for more information.
