New Book Collections

Borrowing from the library

We have a robust selection of books and DVDs that can be checked out from the library. Our collection can be browsed online through NVC's Library webiste.

Alamo Colleges students, faculty and staff may borrow materials from the NVC Library using their Alamo Colleges ID.

Community members and students from other Texas colleges and universities may also borrow from the NVC Library, but only with a TexShare card.
