COM Library Receives Insight Into Diversity Magazine’s 2025 LEAD Award
March 2025
The College of Marin (COM) Library received its second Library Excellence in Access and Diversity (LEAD) Award from Insight Into Diversity magazine, the largest and oldest diversity and inclusion publication in higher education. The LEAD Award honors academic library programs, policies, and initiatives that encourage and support DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) inclusive excellence and belonging across their campus and surrounding community. These include, but are not limited to research, technology, accessibility, exhibitions, and community outreach.
"Our library is a space wherein we invite all learners (students, classified professionals, faculty, managers, and community members) to read and wonder with us," said Dean of Arts and Humanities Lauren Servais. "We’ve also metaphorically eliminated the walls of our library buildings to weave the library and powerful literacy into the entire learning and success fabric of the college."
COM’s Library will be featured, along with 36 other recipients, in the March 2025 issue of Insight Into Diversity magazine. The College is proud to continue its dedication to diversity, inclusion, and access.
