Swap a Book - Swap a Journey, June 16 - 26, 2014

Yup, it’s summertime and time for the TCC Annual Library Book, DVD & CD Swap starting on June 16 - 26th.   

Come and swap a book and swap a journey! It’s time to clean out those closets and overcrowded bookshelves and bring in your trade.   

This is how it works: you bring an item; you take one.  If you need to make room for more stuff,  just bring in a donation to the library and we will be happy to display it for swapping. You never know what great finds may await you, so come to any of the library’s four locations as well as the Conference Center from June 16-26 and mingle, browse, donate and take.  

 If you don’t find something that excites you, we have many new titles in our library catalog at: http://library.tulsacc.edu/home
