Moorpark College Library is a partner in a grant that Ventura College Library has received. The grant Bridging Cultures Bookshelf: Muslim Journeys is a project of the National Endowment for the Humanities, conducted in cooperation with the American Library Association. Support was provided by a grant from Carnegie Corporation of New York. Additional support for the arts and media components was provided by the Doris Duke Foundation for Islamic Art.
The Muslim Journeys Bookshelf includes books and videos. The purpose of this collection is to address the need and desire of American college students and the public for trustworthy and accessible resources and to increase understanding of the peoples, cultures, histories, and religion of Muslim people here in the United States and around the world.
The "Bookshelf" includes themes of study entitled: "American Stories," "Connected Histories," Literary Reflections," "Pathways of View," "Points of View," "Art, Architecture, and Film.” Each theme contains books available for checkout to Moorpark College campus community through the Library Catalog.
