Students can utilize lots of resources here: a research librarian, computers, DVDs, academic workshops, quiet study space, newspapers/magazines/graphic novels & technology help. The Library also houses The Learning Commons, where students have access to free tutoring services for any class.

Fun fact! There is a beautiful piece of art in front of the Library called “La Porta.” It was created by Arnaldo Pomodoro. The name “La Porta” is Italian for “The Door.” The statue is dedicated to Worth Bingham, who believed in the value of education as a door to a brighter future & who donated often to JCTC.

Fun fact! In the atrium, you will see JCTC’s Gallopalooza Horse by Mijung Lee. The Gallopalooza Horse initiative began as a way to beautify the streets, encourage local exploration, increase tourism, highlight local artists and generate civic pride. These horses are located all around Louisville and this one is dedicated to Thunder over Louisville, an annual Derby Festival fireworks show.
