Library

Library circulation & reference assistance

Lakeland's library is a full partner in the teaching and learning process of the college community.  

As the major information resource on campus, the library supports quality opportunities for lifelong learning by acquiring materials in support of the curriculum, providing access to those materials, and teaching information literacy skills. See library services and stay up to date with our monthly newsletter.

To ensure you can take full advantage of our services and materials, please note our current operating hours.

Lakeland Library is open to the public. Apply in person for a Lakeland Library Community Borrower Card with your valid State of Ohio Driver's License or State of Ohio ID. Community borrowers may borrow up to 20 items at a time between Lakeland Library, OhioLINK and SearchOhio books, (limit of 5 OhioLINK/SearchOhio transactions at a time) or interlibrary loan requests.  OhioLINK databases and e-books are available to the public on campus only. The public is invited to attend and participate in library programs. The public will comply with all policies of Lakeland Library.

Elevate your assignments, projects and papers with personalized guidance from Lakeland's expert librarians. Book a one-on-one consultation, available in-person or online, tailored to your needs. Choose from 20, 30, or 40-minute sessions to suit your requirements. Simply complete the request form HERE to get started.

The Library does not purchase textbooks to circulate, however, we have a few donations that do. Normal loan periods apply. Also, some instructors put textbooks and other supplemental materials into our Course Reserves, which can be used for periods of two hours at a time in the library.
