New language libraries spread stories across campus

New language libraries spread stories across campus

This semester, there are new language libraries all around Mount Holyoke’s campus. The outdoor libraries are a project by the Language & Culture Commons to help students connect with books in a variety of languages. According to an article from Mount Holyoke College, LCC coordinator Jean Janecki had the idea for the project after being inspired by Little Free Libraries she saw in the larger Western Massachusetts community. She worked with several Mount Holyoke students to make it a reality. 

Language Resource Center renamed ‘Language & Culture Commons’ to better represent its role on campus

Language Resource Center renamed ‘Language & Culture Commons’ to better represent its role on campus

At the start of spring semester, the College announced that the campus resource once known as the Language Resource Center, located in Ciruti, would be renamed as the Language and Culture Commons via an ‘MHC This Week’ email. Though this name change has been in motion for years, its recent retitling signals the Commons’ commitment to cultural and linguistic education.
