Library Resources

LFTC currently has more than two thousand books, journals and magazines in its own library collections. LFTC also has established a close relationship with Monterey Park City Library and Rosemead City Library. Both of them are our primary facilities for implementing our Library Use and Training Policy. Students have free-access to the Monterey Park Library and the Rosemead Library for training, academic research, and resource search purposes. All new students in the associate degree programs must, in their first quarter, participate in a library training session under the guidance of a librarian either at Monterey Park Public Library or Rosemead City Library. After completion of the training session, the students are given the option of taking an Internet Training Course under the direction of a librarian, as well as one-on-one Internet information retrieval training. All students must submit a Library Introduction Training Completion Form signed by a librarian from the Library to the Admission Office before the end of the first quarter. Students must complete the Library Introduction Training Program before registering for the next quarter. As an added incentive, students also have access to the County library at no charge and the California State College library system.
