LibGuides: Faculty Center: Home

Welcome! We are glad you are here.

You can book a librarian for a consultation of classroom visit below, as well as read more about the specific supports we offer.

The library team is available via live chat, M-F 8-5, or by emailing us at Bl_Bluegrasslibrary@kctcs.edu

You will find the majority of our collection is online, making it available to students, staff and faculty anytime and from anywhere. That said, we believe in the importance of library as space and have two in-person locations to meet practical access needs as well as facilitate community and intellectual growth. Our spaces are safe, welcoming, and engaging. We hope to see you in soon.
