Library Motto, Vision, & Mission

Motto

Knowledge is our library’s greatest asset.

Vision

Our library is a knowledge hub where technology, research, and creative practice collide; we provide a platform for underrepresented voices, work for social change, and in the process, aim to be better humans.

Mission

The mission of the Columbia College Chicago Library is to support the College and its academic programs by providing access to information resources and teaching students to evaluate and use them. Our Library has a teaching mission and is committed to preparing our users to be lifelong learners in an information rich society. It is a gathering place for intellectual and artistic freedom and expression, where we consistently surprise and delight our community with a fierce dedication to coloring outside of the lines in support of continuing education, research, and creative practice.
