Mt. SAC Library Coloring Book Initiative
In 2017, librarians and library staff worked on an outreach-coloring book. Scenes and images invited students, staff, and faculty to explore resources and services at the Mt. SAC Library. The final product was distributed and shared with the campus at Pop-up Libraries, outreach events, and given to students with children who frequent the library. Themes and topics in the coloring book are selected based on campus initiatives, student interest, and more.
