Looking for ideas for your summer reading? TCDC is here to help with just over a hundred titles available to borrow, on topics such as Indigenization, instructional design, online teaching, and universal design for learning. We carry multiples of some titles, so that you may take out several at a time for a book club or study group.  

How do I borrow a book?

Contact us via email at tcdc@langara.ca and let us know which book you’re interested in borrowing so that we can confirm that it’s available. One of our department assistants will respond as soon as possible to make arrangements for pickup. We are located on the second floor of the C building, at C201.

How long can I borrow books for?

You may keep your book for the duration of the semester. If you’d like to keep it longer, please email our department assistant at tcdc@langara.ca. Returning your book is easy, just drop it off in the book return container at the front desk at any time. 

Which books do you have?

We have a wide range of books on topics that will help to enhance your teaching and learning practice. To find out what we have available, you’re welcome to stop by C201 to have a look. If there is a particular book you have in mind and would like to know if we carry it, please email us at tcdc@langara.ca and we will let you know. We hope to have a list of available books listed on our website sometime in Fall 2023.
