TBCC and the library want you to succeed! To borrow tech items, visit the TBCC Library main desk.

Laptops: TBCC students who are enrolled in courses during the current or upcoming term may borrow a laptop for the term. Laptops must be returned at the end of each term. They come with a charger and carrying bag.

Cameras: For students enrolled in digital photography courses (ART 140 and higher) we have a limited number of digital cameras available for checkout during the term. Tripods available upon request.

Calculators: Scientific calculators and graphing calculators available for two weeks up to one term.

USB DVD Player: Watch movies from the library’s DVD collection even if you don’t have a DVD player! 

The TBCC Library has drop-in computers for students to work at and print from. Our printer/copier is black and white and is free if you are printing or copying less than fifteen pages. Additional pages are ten cents per page.

Free scanning is available; please bring a USB drive.

Over-the-ear headphones and a USB DVD player are available to borrow at the Circulation Desk.

Faculty Services

Need a book or journal article that the library doesn’t have?

We can get materials from our partner libraries in the Chinook Network or through interlibrary loan. These services are free for students and faculty.

We can get materials from our partner libraries through the Chinook Network. Our partners include Oregon Coast Community College, Clatsop Community College, Lincoln County Library District, Siletz Public, Waldport public, and Toledo Public. Receiving dates are Monday and Thursday.

For articles, or materials not available from the Chinook Network, request an interlibrary loan. We will locate a library that has the item, and contact them to see if they will lend it. There is no guarantee that we will be able to obtain every item you request, but we will certainly try. Contact us at library@tillamookbaycc.edu, call, or visit in-person for more information or to make a request. 

Interlibrary Loan Guidelines

• A maximum of 3 requests at any one time. A request is considered active from the time it is initiated until three days after the material is returned.
• The library is unable to borrow items published in the current calendar year. Please make a purchase request.
• Copyright laws apply to all interlibrary loans.
• Most book requests will take about 7-14 business days to fulfill, while requests for digitized articles take 2-4 business days.

Materials available for Interlibrary Loan 

Generally books, journal articles, and DVDs are available for interlibrary loan. This usually does not include textbooks or eBooks.

Community members may use the TBCC library, including use of the library computers, printer, wireless network, and our study spaces.

Tillamook County residents over 18 years of age may get a free public patron library card at the main desk after filling out an account form and showing government issued ID. Borrow books, DVDs, and one board game at a time.

Public patrons can borrow items from libraries in the Chinook Network, but we are not able to provide interlibrary loan services. Visit Tillamook County Library for interlibrary loan. Public patrons are not eligible to borrow books on reserve, cameras, or laptops.
