Welcome to the Lakeland Library Newsletter! Each month, we will showcase classes, events, and other fun and interesting facts about the Library and our staff. We will also keep you informed of new resources and services that are designed to assist you in your course work, and personal and professional lives.
Maddy Hutson, Student Library Innovators President
Fun Fact: I've read over 40 books this year so far! I spend all of my free time with my nose in a book :-)
Goals for the library's student group: My main priority for SLI this year is to connect the Lakeland Community and Lake County in general through great books. Beyond connecting individuals through reading, I would love to facilitate more conversation within the library about important issues in our society today. Bringing awareness to underrepresented communities through reading about them is very important to me, and I strive to bring that topic of conversation to our community.
Cassidy Miner, Student Library Innovators Vice President
Fun Fact: I love the outdoors and the environment!
Goals for the library's student group: One goal for this club is to make sure people have access to books because reading is important and can help people. Another goal would be to raise money for people who do not have access to books and other items, so we can purchase some for the community.
You can borrow print books, audiobooks, articles, selected pages from books, DVD's and more through Interlibrary Loan. Send an email to reflibrarian@lakelandcc.edu to get your request started.
Lakeland Library has legal publications.
Are you enrolled in the Paralegal Program? Maybe you have an interest in legal issues. The library subscribes to many legal magazines including ABA Journal (published by the American Bar Association), The National Law Journal, and National Paralegal Reporter. The legal serials at the library are here to help you uncover, "Just the facts, ma'am." Quote from Joe Friday on the TV Show Dragnet.
Need to research both sides of an issue?
Try CQ Researcher, a database containing detailed long reports, short reports, and the option to browse through hot topics. Each long report includes a pro/con page with experts commenting on both sides of an issue. Need more help with CQ Researcher? Contact a reference librarian at 440-525-7425 or reflibrarian@lakelandcc.edu.
