Library Catalog
Check the Library Catalog for additional books. You will find books available on all 3 CCBC campuses.
In the Catalog you may:
- Search a keyword topic, for example "hip hop" or "hip hop dance" or "rap music" or "rap musicians".
- Search the title of a book, for example "Holler if you hear me : searching for Tupac Shakur".
- Search an author's name, for example "Dyson, Michael Eric" or "Rose, Tricia" or "Chang, Jeff".
The Libraries use the Library of Congress Classification system to shelve books. You will need to have the call number to locate books; our call numbers use both letters and numbers together.
