The public community college in America today is a coat of many colors.

This booklet provides a brief historical outline of the development of community and junior colleges in the United States. After a discussion of the philosophical basis of community college education, the booklet considers the origins of the community college movement, tracing its history from the Morrill Act of 1862 which led to the creation of land grant colleges; discussing legislation passed in California in the early 20th Century to develop and fund junior colleges in the state; and reviewing the development of the American Association of Community and Junior Colleges from its creation in 1920. Next, the significance of the 1944 GI Bill and the 1947 Truman Commission on Higher Education are discussed in relation to the mission of community colleges in the post World War II period. The boom years of community college growth from 1960 are then discussed with reference to key events and figures; the rise of statewide systems and state support; the growth of the open door concept and the increases in student financial aid during this period; the role of leadership in the era of growth and in the future; the position of student services and the increase in part-time students; and the changing mission of community colleges. Finally, an outline of the community college today discusses changes in college governance, methods of maintaining leadership, the changing political context, and the development of a body of literature on the community college.

Community colleges are a cornerstone of higher education and serve the unique needs of the communities in which they reside. In 2019, community colleges accounted for 41 percent of all undergraduate students in the United States. Community college librarians are engaged in meaningful work designing and delivering library programs and services that meet the needs of their diverse populations and support student learning. The Community College Library series is meant to lift the voices of community college librarians and highlight their creativity, tenacity, and commitment to students. The Community College Library: Reference and Instruction collects research, programs, and new approaches to reference and instruction implemented by community college librarians around the U.S. Chapters include sample activities and materials and cover topics including using race-centered and trauma-informed practices in the reference interview; incorporating online workshops into an existing information literacy program; and using student-driven pedagogy to navigate the early stages of research. This book demonstrates the innovative and replicable ways community college librarians are meeting the information and research needs of their college population both in person and remotely, all while providing a safe, inclusive space for students to explore and learn.
