Emily Nagoski: The keys to a happier, healthier sex life
Sex educator Emily Nagoski "delves into the science of sexuality to demonstrate how we can shed our insecurities and define pleasure on our own terms."
Human Sexuality: A Contemporary Guide
The three part series "authoritatively addresses the subject of human sexuality, offering solid information on healthy relationships, the responsibilities of parenthood, risk factors for contracting HIV, and other topics that too few young adults fully understand."
Portraits in Human Sexuality
The seven part series "uses interviews to illustrate important and even controversial issues in human sexuality."

Our Mission
The Seattle Central College Library is an ecosystem of workers, students, resources, spaces, and instruction working together so that students have access to information they need to flourish academically, personally, and in community. We welcome diverse voices, approaches, and perspectives to build the knowledge that will make our communities stronger and wiser.
Our Inspiration:
"Only with the interdependency of different strengths, acknowledged and equal, can the power to seek new ways of being in the world generate, as well as the courage and sustenance to act where there are not charters." (Lorde, Sister Outsider, 111)
