Our Mission

Sometimes, especially in times of intense activity and stress, it's good to remember the basics of why we are here. Earlier this year the directors approved this mission statement:

GPC Libraries are partners in the learning, teaching, and research activities of a diverse multi-campus community. GPC Libraries support the mission of the college by providing information resources and services to support academic achievement and foster intellectual curiosity.

To accomplish our mission, GPC Libraries:

•  Provide relevant and stimulating resources that support the college’s academic programs
•  Teach skills to effectively locate, critically evaluate, and ethically use information
•  Use technology and electronic resources to provide services and information on-campus and online
•  Engage the GPC community through outreach programs promoting literacy, research skills, and library services 
• Maintain pleasant learning environments with excellent staff dedicated to patron service and teamwork 

We Are Part of GPC's Mission
