The IMC has a collection of currently adopted NC textbooks as well as selected volumes from the previous adoption. Current textbooks must be used in-house due to high demand while textbooks included in the past adoption circulate on a three-week checkout. Click here to see a subject guide and call number information for currently adopted textbooks.
The Makerspace is available to teachers employed in North Carolina public school districts with a Teacher Borrower Card.
The Ellison Die Cut Center, residing in the Makerspace, currently includes almost 1000 die-cuts. Among the many popular sub-collections of the die-cuts are alphabet and American sign language letters, geometric and nature shapes, animals, and musical instruments and notes.
IMC Materials are available to be mailed to faculty at App State Lab Schools at Middle Fork and Elkin Elementary. Please note that kits, games, and other large items cannot be mailed.
