Local Community Libraries

ECTC has Library Service Agreements (LSA) with the Hardinsburg, Brandenburg, Leitchfield, and Bardstown libraries that will allow students signed up for ECTC Off Campus classes to check out books even when they normally would be considered outside the service area. The LSA also allows students to access interlibrary loan services and use other services offered by the libraries, such as computers.

The Off Campus Programs Computer Lab is located on the 3rd floor of the Fort Knox Education Center in Room 303.
