Save the Kalamazoo Valley Community College Library and Student Lounge

Tell the KVCC adiministration and Board of Trustees to drop its plan to "repurpose" the top floor of the college library and the lower-level student lounge.

Why is this important?

The KVCC Administration with the approval of the Board of Trustees has included in the college's 2015-19 Master Plan to "repurpose" the top floor of the college library and the lower-level student lounge.

The library is the heart and soul of an academic institution. The student lounge is a heavlly-used meeting spot for KVCC students.
