**What is the MCC Library?**
The MCC Library maintains a collection of multicultural literature that highlight the stories and hxstories of communities of color that have often been dismissed and silenced. As a student-run space, MCC librarians strive to maintain publications that allow us to critically assess socially oppressive forms of power.
We believe in making the stories of the struggles of marginalized folks accessible to as many people as possible. Anyone in the community, including non-students, can access a variety of books, textbooks, and study materials after creating a library account. If you are interested in becoming a member, feel free to fill out our form at http://tinyurl.com/mcclibraryaccount. You can also browse our current collection at http://tinyurl.com/mcclibrarybooks.
If you ever have any questions, comments, or concerns, feel free to contact your MCC librarians at berkeleymcc.library@gmail.com!
