Welcome to the Wayne G. Basler Library at Northeast State Community College
The Wayne G. Basler Library is located on the beautiful campus of Northeast State Community College in Blountville, Tennessee. In 2002, the current Library was completed with seating for approximately 600 people and a collection size of over 70,000 volumes. The Library supports a growing student body, faculty, and community with research, computer, and audio-visual capabilities to meet the demands of the information age.
The Library has over 70 computers available for student use.
The third floor houses the Children's Reading Area and Children's Collection. The Children's Reading Area, located behind the Research and Information Help desk in room L315, is filled with colorful soft furniture designed for children's enjoyment and comfort. Bookcases hold a rotating collection of books for all ages of young people. As children must be accompanied by an adult, built-in desks and electrical and USB outlets are also furnished. Students, faculty, staff, and community members are encouraged to take advantage of this treasure in the library. The Children's Collection is located just across the lobby in L301. It is easily identifiable by the fun decorations, and it is housed in low shelves, making it easily accessible to even our smallest readers.
The Learning Center [TLC] is located on the first floor in room L103 and offers a computer lab, tutoring, and assistance in preparing for placement tests.
The Writing Center [TWC] is located on the first floor in room L101. Writing center staff will be available during operating hours to help with your essays, research, and more.
The Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL), located in Room L204, operates under the auspices of Teaching Excellence and Academic Services, which operates within the division of Institutional Excellence and Student Success. The Northeast State Center for Teaching and Learning cultivates a vibrant teaching and learning culture by providing innovative, high quality, and relevant adjunct and full-time faculty professional development opportunities to facilitate student success.
The Honors Institute is located on the third floor in room L303 and provides a learning community where students and faculty members can interact, innovate, create and conduct scholarly research. The Honors Program is in position to function as an incubator for innovative education.
Our goal is to have a Library that supports every aspect of student learning and that will serve as the cultural, educational, and recreational focal point for the community.
