Holds

If the material is checked out, you may place a "hold" or reserve it by notifying the staff at the circulation desk. The information you need to provide is: your name, student ID number, title and call number of the item, and pick-up campus location. 
Get more information about requesting items through our website. 

Lost books

You will be charged the replacement cost for lost books. Lost items on an account will result in a block restricting all registration procedures for students and in the revocation of the library card for community users.

Items Not in the Fulkerson Library

Books owned by any of the TCC libraries may be requested and sent to the Fulkerson Library through Intercampus Loan (ICL).  Please allow two – three working days for the materials to arrive.

The TexShare card is a free lending service that allows students to check out items from other colleges, universities, and public libraries throughout Texas that participate in the TexShare program. Please present a picture ID and proof of residency at the library Circulation Desk to apply for this card. TexShare cards must be renewed each semester.
