Mads R. Terpstra LGBT Resource Center Library Originally created alongside the Center in 2008, the recently-renamed Mads R. Terpstra Library is housed within the Kirkhof building as a part of Grand Valley State University's Milton E. Ford LGBT Resource Center. The library acts as a source of both entertainment and assistance, as it contains up-to-date legal codes, histories, and articles concerning LGBT+ issues, as well as a wide variety of fictional novels and DVDs. This library was selected for this archive due to its recent renovation allowing for an assurance of updated items, as well as the assistance offered by Resource Center staff. Information is freely available regarding resources outside of the University community, including healthcare, legal counsel, and allyship training for outside organizations. The library is open to students, faculty, and visitors outside of the institution. To check out items during open hours (Monday through Friday 9am-6pm), patrons will need their ID or G-Number on hand. The library is named after the student who updated the collection from 2021-2022. The Milton E. Ford's address is 1161 Russel H. Kirkhof Center, 1 Campus Drive, Allendale, MI 49401.
