It is the mission of Nunez Community College Library to provide the library resources and services required to support the mission and goals of Nunez Community College. The college library, in order to carry out its mission, has set forth objectives which are attained through its multiple activities. Although the primary objective of the college library is to provide books, periodicals, and other instructional materials to support the academic program, there is another objective of equal importance: to encourage the formation of a lifetime habit of reading for learning, for exploration, and for recreation.
