School of life

There's a new library on campus, but it's not filled with books.

Books only account for about 20% of the space in the new Library and Learning Center at State College of Florida, Manatee-Sarasota's Bradenton campus. It's a different kind of library for a different kind of world and a different kind of school. It's a school that has had to regularly evolve, like with a library that doesn't have a lot of books, to meet the changing demands and needs of students.

SCF's library is a place where students from a variety of walks of life — traditional high school graduates or 26-year-olds returning to school — will come to study, use computers and meet classmates.
