New Books Courtesy of the Durham Tech Foundation: Jazz, Law, and NC History

When generous individuals choose to give to Durham Tech Foundation, they directly support efforts to lift students up and help instructors succeed in the school’s academic mission. This collective support can build to something as momentous as the recent announcement about Durham Tech’s Housing Initiative.

Today, we’d like to highlight a recent gift from our foundation in honor of two long-serving Foundation Board Members, Judge Willis P. Whichard and vocalist and writer Lois Deloatch, in recognition of their volunteer leadership. Students and staff alike can check out these exciting new books, such as Ted Gioia’s comprehensive The History Of Jazz and the state-history resource North Carolina’s Revolutionary Founders.

Continue reading to see more about this recent addition to Durham Tech Libraries and get links to the books through the library.

Students and instructors involved with Durham Tech’s Paralegal program should take special notice of Succeeding in Law School and Careers in Criminal Justice, whereas music buffs can dig deep into the vibrant history of jazz with Jazz 101 and The History of Jazz.

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!
