In the Spring of 2022 the Library and Information Commons received a $25,000 grant from the Esther Simmons Charitable Trust to be used for adding approximately 560 new print and eBook titles to our collection. The addition of these titles has played an important part in our efforts to update our collection.
As the Library receives the titles purchased through this grant they will be linked on this guide. A book plate commemorating the grant (pictured) will also be placed inside each of the print books purchased through this grant.
The EGCC Library and Information Commons Staff is very grateful for being chosen as a recipient of this grant and for the help we received from the EGCC Foundation, PNC Bank and especially to the Esther Simmons Charitable Trust for their generosity.
The below table outlines the subject areas the library identified for updating and the proposed number of titles by format to acquire.
