We got the privilege of welcoming our incoming TBI students to the library yesterday! Director Brian Kemp led them on a tour of the Hubert M. Dawson Library and gave them an overview of our services and resources.

We have books too, of course, but did you know you can check out these things from TC Libraries?

Expo Markers for intense whiteboard study sessions.
Basic AND graphic calculators because math is hard.
Phones and laptop chargers.
An ever-expanding game and puzzle collection.
Keyboards and mouses for those who miss the more analog days.
A green screen kit to make your presentations absolutely professional.
Rock kits for our intrepid Geology students.
And earbuds!

A question that we get a lot is, "What's your oldest book in here?"

Well, last summer we inventoried over 50,000 books and we have some answers.

Temple College (formerly known as Temple Junior College) started in the basement of the old high school in 1926. 100 years later, here we are. Our oldest book goes even further back than that...Can you spot the earliest copyright date?

Yeah...we're kinda a big deal.

Hit us up with your hard to find books!
