Mission Statement "The Halifax Community College Learning Resources Center supports the College's instructional program by providing print, non-print, and electronic information, as well as other media for students, faculty, staff, and the general public, in order to promote, support, and encourage information literacy--the ability to locate, evaluate, and use information to become an independent life-long learner." Staff An integral part of our college's educational program, our library staff is committed to providing instructional and support services for our faculty and students. A certified librarian is always on duty. Other staff members are available to assist patrons in locating information or providing instruction regarding library usage. LRC Staff Marc L.
