The primary collection development goal of the Tallahassee Community College library is to provide and maintain collections in a variety of formats that support the curriculum and instructional programs of the College, a two-year lower division institution. A secondary priority is to provide resources that support and enrich personal and professional growth and promote the development of an engaged and informed citizenry. This policy outlines the standards and guidelines for the selection and maintenance of the Library’s collection, serves as a consistent framework for those responsible for collection development and communicates library policy to students, faculty, staff and the community.

The TCC Library strives to provide a learning environment conducive to study and research for students, faculty, staff and community members. Children are welcomed in the library, but, in order to preserve the rights and privileges of other patrons and to protect your children, the following guidelines must be followed:

• Children must be accompanied by a parent or adult caregiver who will be responsible for continuous supervision, including appropriate behavior.
• Loud, noisy, or disruptive behavior is inappropriate and the adult will be asked to remove the child from the building until such behavior is mitigated.
• Any person under the age of 18, except registered TCC students, may not use a public computer due to non-filtered Internet access.
• If a child is left in the library without adult supervision, Campus Police will be notified.
• Anyone not abiding by these guidelines will be asked to leave the library.
