Professional Development Collection:  

Most of the professional development ebooks & audiobook are available through the Library's Overdrive website and through the Libby reading app. Your HCC login credentials provide access to all the available titles.

A list of print books eligible for professional development will be added to this page in the near future. For now, please search Power School using print books to see titles.

Library staff are always on the lookout for what our faculty and staff want to read, and professional development is no different.

Examples:

• a title that just plain interests you.
