Leisure Reading - The Library subscribes to Adult and Young Adult Bestseller plans to provide the hottest new fiction and nonfiction titles for the Rowan-Cabarrus Community. On campus, you can browse the selection of these books in a separate shelving area to make it convenient to find your next great read! If you want to know what's available before coming to campus, you can check our leased category in the online catalog. This will tell you where the book is currently housed. If you need it sent to a different campus, just let us know by selecting 'Request Item' next to the book and providing your contact information.

Can't find the book you're looking for? Ask us to search other libraries for you using the Material Request Form.

If there is a book or an author you would like to see us get for the leisure reading collection, contact Lisa Shores at lisa.shores@rccc.edu
