About Us
The library was built along with the
rest of the main campus here in Brighton. Ground-breaking took place on
June 11, 1965 with a slated completion date of September 1967.
Construction problems delayed the “official” opening of the campus until
September of 1968. The library was up and running at that time.
There are three floors open to the college community that total 51,843
square feet. That includes EVERYTHING within the exterior walls. An
additional floor (beneath the main floor) consists of approximately 2200
square feet and is not open to the public. This area is devoted to
storage and the College Archives preservation lab.
The library is officially known as the Leroy V. Good Library and is
named after our first president. He died on September 14, 1972 while
still holding the office of president. The dedication of the library, in
his honor, took place on May 18, 1973.
Our Mission
Departments and Staff
Our Mission
The mission of the MCC Libraries is to instruct a diverse student
body, faculty, and staff in access to and evaluation of resources which
enhance the curriculum, give access to research scholarship, and support
a core collection to encourage critical thinking.
Departments and Staff:
Administration
(Room 2-246 - 4th floor of the LeRoy V. Good Library)
Library Administration provides management, leadership, coordination
and budgetary control for both campus libraries. This department actively
pursues the means and methods to provide quality service to support
curriculum, the mission and vision of the college community as it relates
to libraries. We seek to be innovative and with excellence and equality
of service as goals. Partnering and local, regional and statewide cooperation
are essential elements to our approach.

Circulation
The Circulation/Reference One-Point
Service Desk is found near the exit
doors on the second (main) floor of the Leroy V. Good Library. All materials
must be checked out through the Circulation Desk via the library's automated
circulation system. The Circulation staff checks materials out and in,
manages the reserve collection, processes trace and hold requests, receives
payment for lost library materials, issues temporary library cards to
special populations, answers questions about fines and charges, receives
lost and found items, and places book transfers to and from the Damon City Campus.
The desk staff is trained to answer directional questions and manage Circulation
Services, but will refer all other research information requests to the
Information/Reference Desk.
Besides
being responsible for all activities at the Circulation Desk, the Circulation
staff is responsible for maintaining the book stacks on the 3rd and
4th floors. To keep materials in their proper places, Circulation student
assistants are assigned sections of the book stacks where they are trained
to shelve, straighten, and read the shelves for correct order. If you
are having trouble finding an item, stop at the Circulation Desk where
an assistant would be happy to help you.
As
to serials, this department oversees the operation of the automated
serials control system, which includes ten functions central to serials
work. The Information Resources Committee (IRC) is responsible for the selection of new periodical
titles for acquisition, many times in conjunction with other librarians,
faculty and students. The serials staff enters new subscriptions, cancels
subscriptions, maintains order records and check-in records. Periodicals statistics
are compiled, and periodicals backfiles maintained. Superseded
issues are disposed of. Communications
with serials vendors are also coordinated.
