LCSC Library welcomes members of the public, as well as the students,
staff and faculty of Lewis-Clark State College. As an academic
library, we offer many services to students, faculty, and staff

Loans, Internet access for research purposes, and training on a variety
of resources. Services to the general public include access to government documents and access to the
general collection.
