�鶹Ӱ�� Library Take-Out: Get Your Books To Go

�鶹Ӱ��

While our downstairs stacks may be closed, the �鶹Ӱ�� Library is open to get your books to you.

Whether fiction or nonfiction, we've got options!

Know what you want and already have a library account? You can search our catalog or use Search Library and put a hold on a book yourself. (Have trouble? Let us know. Your �鶹Ӱ�� Library account might need updating.)

My Account login for library catalog. Login using user ID OR alternate ID and pin. User ID is the 29024000 barcode from the library that you would have received when registering for a library card. Alternate ID is your �鶹Ӱ�� ID number. The pin should be the last 4 digits of your �鶹Ӱ�� ID number. Email or chat us with issues logging in. — Faculty or staff who have had a library account for a long time may need to add DTCC in front of their Alternate ID.

Feel free to email us (library@durhamtech.edu or a specific librarian) the titles of the books you want. If they're in our collection and checked in, we'll grab them from the shelves and arrange a time for you to pick them up. (This is actually what we prefer, but we support your independence if you want to do it yourself.)

Interlibrary loan (ILL) is available from most of the community colleges we share our catalog with, so if �鶹Ӱ�� doesn't have it, we may be able to get it for you. Just ask!

Don't have a library account yet? Let us know and we'll help you set one up when you come get your books.

What if you don't know what you want? Ask us! You can either email a specific librarian or email the general library email account (library@durhamtech.edu). Some things to think about: What type of book are you looking for? Do you want it to make you feel a certain way (hopeful, happy, sad, etc.)? Do you like certain styles of books (lyrical, fast-paced, descriptive, character-driven, romantic, dystopian, magical)? Are you trying to complete one of the categories from the and you need suggestions?

Looking for some suggestions? Check out some of the books below or explore our blog for lists of books available (arranged by newness to the collection or topic) or blog posts for more detailed book reviews.

Secret door hidden behind library books... to remind you to get the password by completing the �鶹Ӱ�� Daily Check-In form linked in the text.

Once you've either emailed your request or put a hold on your books, we'll contact you to set up a time to pick them up. Books coming from other campuses may take additional time to arrive. We are not doing curbside services-- you will need to come into the library (and complete the daily check-in to get the secret daily password and bring a photo ID) to get your books.

We look forward to seeing you soon... and briefly.
