Textbook Lending Collection for Basic Skills Courses
To alleviate financial obstacles for our ESL, Basic Skills, CWA, and other underserved students, the Library has created a lending program to provide access to textbooks and technology needed to succeed in the course. This program is known as the Textbook Learners Collections (TLC).
The library will purchase 5 copies of a textbook for each section of a course. For example, if there are three sections of ESL 836 then we will purchase 15 copies of their textbook.
Eligibility for checking out these texts or technology for a full semester will depend on the following factors:
- Enrollment in Basic Skills, pre-transfer math, ESL or CWA courses
- Recommendation by either counselor, retention specialist, or financial coach.
- Recommendations by the third week of the semester will have priority.
Please come talk to me, Monica Reynoso, for more information.
