The 2024 LCC library bookcart naming contest has come to a close and the winners have been named. The contest began this past March and was open to the entire LCC community.

“It’s going to add something to my day,” Johnson said. “It’s going to bring a small smile to my face when I see the ones that I named, but it is also going to bring a little bit of lightness and fun to the space.”

Johnson said if things were up to her, she would make the cart-naming contest annual event. To her, a library full of kids is a sign of great hope for Lansing’s future.
“It means the future generation will still be into books,” she said. “The fact that there is still a space that they can come and get physical books is a good thing for the community.”
Library Communication Specialist Abby Tebeau would like it known that the library, located in the TLC building on LCC’s main campus, will have a few new things in it this fall, including a craft room and a library of things.
