Welcome Tavis!

Do you have an overdue library book? Don’t forget, the LLCC Library is accepting “Food for Fines” until the end of the semester (this Friday).

Food for Fines is a fundraiser drive allowing patrons (students, faculty, staff, or community members) to “pay off” any fines or fees on their account by bringing in donations for a local food pantry. Patrons can bring in one non-perishable item to receive $5.00 off their total fines. For instance, if you owe $20 in processing fees and bring in 4 donation items, your account balance will go down to zero. Please note that donations cannot be used to pay for lost books. We have teamed up with the Central Illinois Foodbank to donate everything we collect. View a list of items that the Central IL Food Bank is in need of.  Feel free to contact Mary DiMaggio if you need any more information. Thank you!

Congratulations to the Edible Book Festival winners Tracy Stout, adjunct instructor, hospitality management, and student Lizzie Roehrs! Thank you to everyone who participated!

View photos from the event on the LLCC Facebook page.

Be sure to stop by the Edible Book Festival to check out the entries on display and vote between 11 a.m.-noon for your favorite!  We’ll announce the winners at noon, then eat!  All are invited to taste the books.

The LLCC Library and I-SHARE Online Catalog, Vu-Find, will be unavailable from 5 p.m. on Friday, June 12, until approximately 8 a.m. Monday, June 15. During this time, we will be upgrading the I-SHARE systems software. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience that this might cause, and thank you for your patience while we complete the necessary system maintenance.

The LLCC Library would like to thank everyone who participated and helped us make our Food for Fines program a success. The Foods for Fines program allowed students, staff and faculty to donate to a local food pantry in exchange for having their library fines waived. We collected over 180 items to donate to the Central Illinois Food Bank, and Hy-Vee matched our donations by donating $375 worth of food! We greatly appreciate your support!
