Library Learning Hub Mission

The mission of the Helena College Library Learning Hub is to enable student success in the programs and degrees offered at the College.
The Library Learning Hub will achieve this Mission by collaborating with students, faculty, and the community in the selection, creation, and delivery of resources, programming, and services; by providing tutoring, academic support, and information instruction; and by offering an active and quiet community learning areas for study, reflection, and inquiry to foster the concepts of lifelong learning, intellectual freedom, and cultural enrichment. Community members who are not students, faculty, or staff of the College are welcome to access Library Learning Hub services consistent with this Mission.
The Library Learning Hub accomplishes this Mission through its General Operations Policy.

Library Rewards Program

  The Library Learning Hub offers the "Check In to Win" Library Rewards Program . Students who want to participate can pick up a rewards card at the Library desk. Then, each time the student checks out a library item, attends a library event, uses a study room, or meets with a tutor they can present the card for a date stamp. Once the card is full, the student can exchange it for a Library Learning Hub tote bag or patch. All completed cards will be entered in a drawing for a technology device at the end of each fall and spring semester. The winning student will be able to select their prize from a menu of pre-determined options. Visit the Library Learning Hub to learn more and pick up a card.
