Wed. Jan. 29 Get a library card from Tulsa's public library!

The Tulsa City-County Public Library (TCCL) is coming to TCC to offer free library cards to students, staff and faculty. TCCL volunteers will be on each of the four TCC Library locations to issue library cards on the spot from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 29.

A TCCL library card provides access to hundreds of thousands of books and online resources for free. You can also download and keep new music from Chopin to Daft Punk, Jimi Hendrix, Journey, Miley Cyrus and more!

Not a resident of Tulsa County? Not a student but you work here? Not a problem! Full-time students and employees at a college or university in Tulsa County meet the residential requirements for a public library card.

Celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day!

We celebrate the Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday in January. The Library website (http://library.tulsacc.edu ) contains printed and electronic resources (e-resources) that demonstrate the impact this great American and Nobel Peace Prize winner had on our country and the world. 

 More than 100 books and videos in the Library collection focus on Dr. King--including several biographies and books about King’s use of non-violent civil disobedience to gain civil rights, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (the major civil rights organization he lead), and books about his impact on American society (e.g. three books by Pulitzer Prize winning author Taylor Branch) 

At History & Politics Out Loud, a TCC Digital Library resource at the Historical Voices Gallery, you can Hear Dr. King speak--including the I Have a Dream speech and the famous drum major for justice speech.

Included among the more than 1.1 million images at the ARTStor database are photographs of civil rights marches in the 1960’s which Dr. King organized.

To access the books and videos or the digital library resource, click on the yellow Books & More tab at the Library homepage and use the Library Catalog or Digital Library link. To access ARTStor, click on the yellow Article Databases tab and use the A to Z Databases link. (214 words)

Welcome Back & upcoming library events!

Welcome back to TCC! We are glad to see new and familiar faces on campus. We have resumed our semester hours for the spring. If you need help, you can call us, email or chat with us during business hours.

We have two upcoming library events this semester to announce:

Tulsa City County Public Library Card Drive

On Wednesday, Jan. 29th, at all TCC campus libraries, you can meet with librarians from Tulsa City-County Library (public library) from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. It's a great time to sign up for a public library card! You can learn about TCCL's resources and services for the whole family.

With a public library card, you can expand your access to their resources and get check out privileges to books, ebooks, magazines videos, and music!

Blind Date with a Book

In February, you can participate in Blind Date with a Book in which you tell us what book you like and we'll pair you with an attractive single book in your area of interest. It's a blind date so you could be paired with a detective, an actor, or scientist intent on saving the world!
