Lakeland Library Newsletter: Welcome to Fall 2022

Under construction!

Lakeland Library is designing a new space for students! Can you guess its purpose? Stay tuned for more information...coming in Fall 2022!

Generously supported by Lakeland's Rise and Thrive grant

September includes Banned Books Week so I want to mention some periodicals that provide information on books. Lakeland Library subscribes to Library Journal, The Horn Book Magazine and The New York Review of Books. Each of these periodicals provides reviews of books and articles on authors. Of course there are more magazines that contain book reviews than just the three I mentioned. For information on these resources and more, contact Reference at 440-525-7425 or email reflibrarian@lakelandcc.edu .

Instructors, need a digital research guide for your students? Lakeland Librarians can build research guides that are tailored to specific assignments, classes, subjects, and events. Librarians can incorporate assignment instructions, research resources (databases, books, websites, videos), search tips, and many more items into research guides. Check out the example guides below and email reflibrarian@lakelandcc.edu for requests or questions.

It’s great to see the campus so active again after the shutdowns of the pandemic and the languor of summer. Students are already visiting the library to check out textbooks on Reserve or find a serene place to steal a moment or two for reflection. We look forward to supporting Lakeland’s students throughout the academic year as they face the challenges and rigors of college. This newsletter describes a few of the many ways we provide support to students throughout the year: acquiring books and other materials to support the curriculum, teaching information literacy skills to classes and one-on-one to students, designing guides to help students complete research assignments, and promoting and providing space for self-care. Stop by the library to talk with one of Lakeland’s librarians if you’d like to find out more about how we can help you and your students have a great semester!

Read:  "This Time Next Year We'll Be Laughing: A Memoir" by Jacqueline Winspear

Summary:   "“A beautifully rendered, elegant work of literary architecture joining the present to the past. Jacqueline Winspear's memoir of an English country childhood is also an homage to the remarkable parents whose choices and outlooks shaped her. Their stories of hardship and gratitude became hers, and hers became this unforgettable book.”

Read:   "Go Tell It On the Mountain" by James Baldwin

Summary:  "Go Tell It On The Mountain" was James Baldwin's first major work, based in part on his own childhood in Harlem. Baldwin chronicles a fourteen-year-old boy's discovery of the terms of his identity as the stepson of the minister of a Pentecostal storefront church in Harlem. Baldwin's rendering of his protagonist's spiritual, sexual, and moral struggle toward self-invention opened new possibilities in the American language and in the way Americans understood themselves"-- Provided by the publisher

Banned Books Week is an annual celebration of the freedom to read.    

Each year, libraries take this opportunity to highlight the importance of intellectual freedom and remind us not to take the freedom to read for granted.
