TCC Library helps celebrate American Presidents

In February, we celebrate American Presidents.  Use the TCC Library website (http://library.tulsacc.edu) to find the print and electronic resources (e-resources) to help you learn about and celebrate the President of the United States (POTUS).

If you browse the more than 400 books in the TCC Library catalog about the President, you will find biographies by Pulitzer Prize winning authors David McCullough (John Adams, Truman) and Jon Meacham (American Lion: Andrew Jackson in the White House, Thomas Jefferson: The Art of Power) and autobiographies by Theodore Roosevelt, Ronald Reagan, and Bill Clinton. There are books written by Presidents (Profiles in Courage, John F. Kennedy; Audacity of Hope, Barrack Obama).  There are more than two dozen books about Abraham Lincoln and a critically-acclaimed, four-book series about Lyndon Johnson by Robert Cato, (including Master of the Senate).
