Public Library Access Comes to The Texas Medical Center Library Have you ever had trouble finding the time to make it to the public library to pick up the latest bestseller, an audio book for your commute, or a picture book for bedtime sharing?  Starting January 3, 2012, Harris County Public Library (HCPL) materials will be available for convenient pickup at The Texas Medical Center (TMC) Library location.  Simply select the materials you want in the HCPL catalog at www.hcpl.net, place a request using your library card, and the items will be delivered to The TMC Library.  Once your items arrive, you will receive a notification by e-mail or phone and have one week to pick them up.  If you would just like to browse, the library will have a small collection of books for adults, children and teens available on site.  If you don’t currently have a HCPL library card, you can apply for one online at: http://www.hcpl.net/about/library-cards or at The TMC Library.  Library cards are free to residents of the state of Texas with proof of mailing address and three-month visitor cards are available for non-Texas residents. To checkout eBooks and eAudios from the Digital Media Catalog for use on your iPad, iPod, Kindle or Nook, you will first need to get your card from The TMC Library, and then enjoy convenient access, anytime, anywhere.  Harris County Public Library has 26 library locations throughout the area and a collection of over 2 million items, including books, CDs, DVDs, databases, eBooks and eAudios for all ages, so there is something to appeal to everyone.  It’s not always easy navigating the area around the Medical Center, so HCPL and The TMC Library hope to reduce your daily stress with this new program.
