MCC Library Mission: The Libraries support the MCC mission by providing services and resources that strengthen and enhance instructional services.
MCC-Penn Valley Library has a book collection of over 80,000 volumes and subscribes to 100+ magazines, journals and newspapers. Our holdings are accessible through the Kansas City online catalog. Kansas City is part of the MOBIUS system which includes holdings of Missouri universities and colleges.
The library has 40 computers available for student use. Computers are to be used for researching assignments given by MCC instructors. First priority on computers goes to students conducting research for class. If our computers are reserved for class use, you will be asked to use the Instructional Computer Lab in HU 103.
Library materials may be renewed twice, if someone else has not requested the item. For reserve items, there are no renewals. Interlibrary loan renewals are determined by the lending library. Return library books at the Circulation Desk (Learning Resources 1st floor).
Therefore, students are prohibited from leaving a child unattended at any of the college facilities. Unattended children will be reported to the Public Safety office and the parent/guardian responsible could face disciplinary action. Parents/guardians must make arrangements for the care of their children during class meetings.
MCC-Penn Valley library is a part of MOBIUS, a consortium linking academic libraries across the region. Books can be requested online and will be sent to MCC-Penn Valley library for checkout. Please ask at the Reference Desk about this service.
