Use the library catalog to find information about books and audiovisual materials, including:
E-books and streaming videos can be accessed directly from the catalog. You'll use your MyAACC username and password or Truxal Library card number to log in if you're off campus.
A Truxal Library card is required to borrow print books, but can be obtained when you're ready to check out. Students should just bring a photo ID (like a driver's license) to the circulation desk. If you can't come to the Arnold campus, you can have materials sent to other AACC locations:
If you need access to print materials and cannot come to any campus, you may contact the Distance Learning Librarian for assistance at DLLibrarian@aacc.edu or 410-777-2216.

Materials on similar subjects are shelved together, so it's worthwhile to browse neighboring stacks when you find a helpful book.

Please ask a staff member if you're having trouble finding items in the stacks!
