Abstract: Community college students often face complex academic, financial, and personal pressures that can negatively affect their mental health and overall wellbeing. While counseling centers provide essential clinical support, many institutions are exploring broader campus approaches to promoting student wellness. Academic libraries, as accessible and inclusive campus spaces, are increasingly recognized as important contributors to these efforts. This paper examines the role of community college libraries in supporting student wellbeing while maintaining appropriate professional boundaries.
