About This Guide

Students are welcome to bring their children to the MCC Libraries. This guide provides an overview of the resources available at the MCC Libraries for student-parents in particular. These resources include:

An important note: Children in the MCC Libraries must be accompanied by an adult at all times. Public Safety will be called if a child is found unattended anywhere in the library.

Other Resources for Student-Parents

There are also some other useful resources for student-parents on campus, as noted at Resources for MCC Students.

Family-Friendly Study Rooms

Family-friendly study room at the Brighton Campus LibraryOur family-friendly study rooms include kid-sized furniture, computers, whiteboards, and children’s books. Family-friendly study room locations:

  • Brighton Campus: Room 2-221.
  • Downtown Campus: Room 440E.

Student-parents can stop by the Service Desk to check out a room key and/or a Kid Kit, or reserve their preferred study room time slot in advance.

By using a family-friendly study room at MCC, you agree to abide by the following policies:

  • Do not leave children unattended at any time. If a child is left unattended anywhere in the library, Public Safety will be called.
  • Students not accompanied by children may use the family-friendly study rooms, but they might be asked to move to another study room if the room is requested by a student parent or guardian accompanied by a child.

Family-friendly study room at the Downtown Campus

  • Parents or guardians are responsible for their children’s safety and behavior.
  • Library resources are not censored. Parents are responsible for monitoring what their children access, both in print and online.
  • There is a limit of up to 2 adults and 4 children in the family-friendly study rooms.
  • MCC ID is required to borrow all study rooms.
  • Room keys must stay in the library, and we will not hold the room key at the desk for any reason.
  • Please clean up after yourself and let us know at the Service Desk if there are any issues with the room that need attention.
  • Please do not leave any personal items in the room. Items left in the room will be sent to MCC’s Lost and Found.

Children's Books

Each of our family-friendly study rooms has a small collection of children's books for use in the room. We also have children's books in our library collections that students can borrow and take home. These are shelved in the PZ section at each library.

Accessibility is important to us. While we have made efforts to make our guides as accessible as possible, it is possible that issues could be present. If you are having difficulty accessing content in these guides or if you have any questions about the accessibility of online information posted by the MCC Libraries, please contact us.
