Diverse Families Virtual Display

There are infinite possible configurations of happy, healthy, beautiful families. They all equally deserve to be recognized in society and in culture, but that is not always the case. This selection of books from the Lansing Community College Library acknowledges and celebrates the diversity of modern families. The collection includes memoirs, creative non-fiction, social histories, and anthologies of personal narratives about a variety of family structures and family members.

Books are available for checkout at the Library Help Zone on the second floor of the Technology & Learning Center. These items will be on display through the month of November and available afterward in the main collection on the third floor.

Rediscovered Classics Virtual Display

There were approximately 2 million new books published in 2023, and very few of them will be remembered and read in 2073. Yet, millions of people still read and love these books today. Now, you likely are not aware of many books that were popular around the world two-hundred, one-hundred, or even just thirty years ago. However, millions of people also read and loved those books.

Just because a book has been forgotten, does not mean it is not worth reading. Why not take a trip through time and read a buzzy new author from 1914? Or a highly anticipated new book from 1824? Or a Nobel Prize-winner’s first successful novel? Try a Rediscovered Classic at the Lansing Community College Library.
