Maybe you’ve heard about mushroom foraging and want to give identification a try, or you’ve spotted a few colorfully feathered friends that you’d like to identify. Are you starting to plan your garden? We’ve got books for all of that over at our Main Campus Library.

Keep reading to see a colorful gallery of these new additions to our catalog.

To explore these great new reads, simply click on the book cover and you will be taken to our catalog where you can request the title to be held for you at one of our library locations. As always, you can also ask us to locate materials by email (library@durhamtech.edu), by phone 919-536-7211, or through our online chat.

We look forward to checking these out for you!
