Library Purpose Statement

The Dr. Simon Melendres Library at LABI College provides the campus population, including student body, faculty, and staff with intellectual academic and educational resources that will help further equip patrons for lifelong Christian learning.  The purpose of the library is to provide the LABI College community with access to information in all formats.  In consultation with the community, the library builds and maintains collections and services to meet the college’s curriculum and research needs.  The library acquires and organizes its resource, providing direct and mediated access to information and teaches users to obtain and evaluate information.  The Dr. Simon Melendres Library coordinates and works with LABI College administration and faculty in the development of information policy on campus.
