The Livingston library is located in Room 103 and incorporates a computer lab; see here for computer lab information.
Your Livingston library specialists are Jim Malone and Kaylie Staggs. They can be reached at 931-823-7065 extension 5247. or or toll-free at 800-563-8220 (ask to be connected to the library).
The library specialist's hours may change due to staffing and student needs. Research appointments via Zoom may also be made with a library specialist outside of those designated hours or virtual reference appointments can be made with librarians at the main library.

If a library specialist is not present, Livingston students are encouraged to contact the main library using the Get Help page.
Technology is available for borrowing from all library locations.
A valid Vol State ID must be presented. Patrons will be charged for loss or damaged items that require replacement.
*Most of the technologies are available for check-out at all VSCC locations; exceptions are noted. If the technology isn't at your VSCC location, you may request the item and it will be sent to you at your VSCC site location.
Books and periodical articles may be requested from the Thigpen Library collection at the Gallatin campus library or through Interlibrary Loan from other libraries. To request library books or periodicals from the Gallatin campus, complete the form. This service is available to all students enrolled in Vol State classes at the sites or online.

The Tennessee Academic Library Cooperative (TALC) allows students and faculty/staff in the TBR, THEC, and UT systems to check out materials from any participating library (link opens in new window).
To be eligible for TALC you must be a currently enrolled student or be employed (full or part time) at a participating institution.
You must be able to log in to your campus portal to show that you are enrolled in course(s) for the current semester or that you are employed at the institution.
You will also be asked to show home campus ID. If you do not have a home campus ID, you may be asked to present a driver's license or other government-issued photo ID.
Borrowing privileges from a participating TALC library require that the borrower accept full responsibility for the items borrowed. As a TALC borrower, you agree to follow all rules and guidelines established by the lending library. Borrower responsibilities include returning materials in time and paying replacement cost of materials and fees, if charged by the lending library.
