What Librarianship Looks Like Today 🙂

We’ve recently been experiencing some issues with our front door alarm system, and while our maintenance team works to resolve the problem, our Library and Student Support Specialist, Mason Herman, jokingly suggested that unplugging the alarm might do the trick (rest assured, he did not!).

We’re grateful for team members like Mason who help keep spirits high and laughter flowing, even during minor inconveniences. Sometimes it really is the quiet ones you have to watch!

What Librarianship Looks Like Today 🙂

Earlier today, the Library Team gathered for a project planning meeting to prepare for the upcoming academic year, thoughtfully mapping out priorities and initiatives to ensure we continue meeting the needs of our patrons and supporting the day-to-day operations of the library.

We are truly grateful for such a dedicated and collaborative team whose hard work and shared commitment help make our library an exceptional place for our campus community.

What Librarianship Looks Like Today 🙂

Few things make librarians happier than a surprise visit from a former student. Although he is now pursuing his bachelor’s degree at Lenoir-Rhyne University, Linkin Booth still feels at home in the CVCC Library — and we believe that says something special about our community.

Many people may not realize that, in addition to serving as an academic library for our students, the CVCC Library also serves as a community library. We are always delighted when former students return for research assistance, reading materials, or simply the opportunity to reconnect with familiar faces.

It is a privilege to remain part of our students’ journeys long after they leave our campus, and we are grateful whenever they return to visit.
