Around the World Through Books

Mission Statement:

Through targeted books selected to exemplify the college’s culturally rich and diverse population, we are committed to expanding awareness of other cultures and increasing global perspectives. Programs featured draw on the experience and knowledge of local and nationally acclaimed authors, the diverse talents of the JSRCC faculty and student body, and the local community to foster a public forum to exchange ideas and learning.
