If you come to the library...

The MCTC Libraries each have different kinds of resources for you to check out for both research and entertainment! All three libraries have children's books, graphic novels, reference, and local newspapers The Maysville Campus Library also houses the following collections:

  • Adult Easy Reading
  • Graphic Novels
  • Young Readers Books
  • Kentuckiana (Kentucky-related literature and historical materials)
  • MCTC Scrapbooks (Newspaper clippings of the college's history)

Student Photo ID Card

Your MCTC Student Photo ID card is your library card! 

If you do not already have an MCTC student photo ID card made, you can come to your nearest MCTC campus library (or Student Services office at the Rowan Campus) to have your card made!

Your student photo ID card serves as both your student identification card on campus and your library card. You may also be asked to present your ID card to purchase textbooks at the Barnes and Noble campus bookstores and to sell back textbooks. When you are on campus, you are required to wear/display your Student ID for security purposes.  

If you lose your MCTC Student/Photo ID Card, you will need to pay a $10 replacement fee at your campus library or business office.
