This guide will help you locate resources for the Children's Book Review Project in Professor Blank's HIST 1301 course.

Choose a Children's Book

Discover children's books by searching the library catalog.  Try your keyword search here.

  • "Statue of Liberty"
 

 

A few suggestions are listed below.

Where's My Book?

If you find a book that lives at another TCCD campus library, you can submit a request to have it sent here to Trinity River Campus. This service is called Intercampus Loan, and it's FREE for all TCCD students, faculty, and staff.

To begin, use the SEARCH box at the top of this page to locate a book. Once you have found the information about a book that you want from another campus, click the "Locations" tab to display the sign-in option.

On this screen, you will need to log in to library services using your myTCC username and password.

Once you have completed the sign-in process, your screen will be redirected to the record of information about the book, but this time you will see the "Request" option is now available.

Item record with Request button visible

Complete the online Request form to have your chosen book sent from any TCCD campus. Please allow 1-2 business days for delivery. Once your book has arrived at the Trinity River Campus, you'll receive a notification email to your myTCC account, and you may check it out from the Circulation desk at the library.  Just give them your name, and an employee will pull the book for you.

It really is THAT easy!
