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)
