Note: A photo ID is needed to verify age and identification.
LRC - Library Mission Statement
The library provides instruction to ECC students and local patrons in effective use and evaluation of information. Because students have access to the library’s broad spectrum of learning resources in diverse formats, learning how to best use and evaluate that information fosters independent learning. The overriding purpose of all library operations is to provide instruction and support of patrons for effective use of learning resources, and to implement, enrich, and support the educational programs of the College to meet community needs not within the realm of public library services.
LRC - Library Collections
Both the Tarboro and Rocky Mount campus libraries offer basic reference and curricular resources. The combined collection of approximately 35,407 units of print and AV material is accessed through the Sirsi online catalog, which also contains the holdings of 44 other North Carolina community colleges.
LRC - Library Special Collections
Special collections include the Early Childhood Collection on the Rocky Mount campus and the North Carolina and Local History Collection on the Tarboro campus. Another special collection on the Tarboro campus is Accelerated Reader books for the Edgecombe County Early College.
Audiovisual Services
The libraries on both ECC campuses assist in serving the media needs of faculty, staff, and students. While AV equipment is located permanently in some classrooms, there are situations when an item is needed on a short-term basis. A limited number of laptop computers, LCD projectors, overhead projectors, slide projectors, and cassette recorders as well as digital cameras, a video camera and tripod, a film strip projector, a boom box, and TV/VCR/DVD player on a large cart are available by calling the library to sign up on a first come, first served basis.
Audiovisual equipment and materials may be borrowed by local community organizations with the exception of laptop computers, LCD projectors, and digital cameras. Requests should be made at least one week in advance.
Audiovisual materials are intended primarily for faculty classroom use and are housed in the library workrooms on both campuses. Students needing AV materials for class presentations may check them out for the duration of the class period only. Students may preview materials in the library prior to their class presentation.
