PASCAL Delivers is a rapid book-delivery service provided by the Partnership Among South Carolina Academic Libraries (PASCAL) that enables currently enrolled TTC students and TTC employees to request and receive books from over 12 million print items available at academic libraries in South Carolina.

PASCAL requested items are subject to reduced intrastate delivery services and a COVID-19 quarantine period, so please plan ahead and allow 5-7 business days for delivery and pickup from Thornley library. Thank you for your patience. Due to campus restrictions at most state institutions, Pick-up Anywhere and Visiting Patron services will not be available for the Fall 2020 semester. Check our ebook collections for alternatives.

Banned Books Week is an annual event celebrating the freedom to read. It spotlights current and historical attempts to censor books in libraries and schools. It brings together the entire book community — librarians, booksellers, publishers, journalists, teachers, and readers of all types — in shared support of the freedom to seek and to express ideas, even those some consider unorthodox or unpopular.

For more information on Banned Books Week visit https://bannedbooksweek.org/. Here you will find details on virtual events to help you celebrate Banned Books Week as well as titles of some of the most challenged books.
