Tacoma Students Need to Know . . .

All registered Tacoma students benefit from access to the following resources. We hope you’ll use them often. Because TESC Tacoma students are not identifiable as “Tacoma” students in the library or larger student registry, we need your help in order to get library materials to you quickly and efficiently. In order to use the materials, you’ll need to have a current TESC Library account. Please fill out the form available at the Tacoma Campus main desk or update your current card by calling the TESC Library Circulation Desk at 867-6580 (x.6580).
