Tidewater Community College Library is committed to teaching and promoting information literacy, providing efficient access to information resources and services, and supporting the curriculum and diverse information needs of the college community.
Each campus library has a variety of flexible spaces, including quiet spaces for study and areas that allow for collaboration and group work. Campus computer labs have adjustable-height desks for wheelchairs. Talk to library staff at your campus about options for adjusting lighting
Study rooms are available at the Virginia Beach Campus Joint-Use Library and the Norfolk Campus by reservation. Look for the
