Library Mission Statement
The Lawrence W. Tyree Library supports Santa Fe College with knowledgeable staff, appropriate resources, and an environment that promotes user success and life-long learning.
- With limited space, money, and staff for processing and storing gift materials, the L.W. Tyree Library generally declines offers of donations for its collection.
- In accordance with accreditation principles, all items in the Tyree Library’s collection support the Santa Fe College curriculum and meet library selection standards. The Tyree Library may accept an offer of donation if a librarian determines the materials are in sufficiently good condition, there is a need to add those materials to the collection, and doing so would be consistent with the Tyree Library Collection Development Policy.
- All donated materials become property of the Tyree Library.
- Donated materials not selected for the Tyree Library’s collection will not be returned.
- The Tyree Library will dispose of all donated materials as it deems appropriate.
- The Tyree Library cannot provide a list of donated materials or an estimate of value. Upon request, the Tyree Library will provide a letter summarizing and acknowledging a donation in general terms.
Failure to follow any of these policies may result in loss of library privileges or disciplinary sanctions.
Santa Fe College is committed to an environment that embraces diversity, respects the rights of all individuals, is open and accessible, and is free of harassment and discrimination based on, but not limited to, ethnicity, race, creed, color, religion, age, disability, sex, marital status, national origin, genetic information, political opinions or affiliations, and veteran status in all its programs, activities and employment.
