John C. Williams Trust Grant

J.C. Williams Grant Book PlateThe Library and Information Commons received a $40,166.50 grant from the J.C. Williams Charitable Trust to be used for adding approximately 600+ 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 J.C. Williams Charitable Trust for their continued generosity towards the Library. (The J.C. Williams Charitable Trust previously contributed to the Jefferson Community College Library renovation project in 2005)
