In addition to our computer resources, we have a loaning library of textbooks, readers, literary anthologies, grammar handbooks, workbooks, and novels, as well as traditional instructional worksheets.  We have a reserve shelf of dictionaries (including the Oxford English Dictionary), thesauri, and a small encyclopedia.  Also, we have a workbook series of tapes and readers, Reading the Content Fields (Jamestown Publishers), as well as several tape recorders.

For professional development for both tutors and faculty, in our tutor lounge we have a book shelf of professional journals and books on the topics of reading and writing, as well as a television and a VCR.
