The role of the Central Alabama Community College (CACC) library system is to support the academic and career/technical curriculum needs of students, faculty, and community by providing access to materials, both print and electronic, in an environment conducive to intellectual, social, cultural, physical, and moral growth.
The CACC libraries and the Talladega Center have adopted the following goals:
To seek the advice of administration, faculty, students, and library staff in selecting electronic and print materials for the libraries.
To provide professional guidance to students and faculty in the selection and navigation of the libraries’ holdings, including both print and electronic resources.
To maintain adequate hours to serve students, faculty, and administration.
To develop collaborative relationships with other agencies and institutions to supplement the libraries’ resources and services.
To conduct regular evaluation of the college libraries to ensure that the needs of their users are being met and that the programs and objectives of the college are being supported.

Karen graduated from Athens State University in 1997 and started her career in education the same year as a first-grade teacher. Following her first year of teaching, she returned to school to pursue the dream of becoming a librarian. After teaching for three years, she became the librarian for a K-12 school in 2000. She graduated from the University of Alabama with a master’s degree in Library and Information Studies in 2001. Since becoming a librarian, she has worked with students from kindergarten through college and has found that working with each age has its own rewards. She achieved certification through the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards in 2009. In her spare time, she enjoys spending time with her family, ballroom and swing dancing, and reading.
Marty graduated from Troy University in 1981 with a degree in Business Administration with an emphasis on Computer Science. Her family moved to Alexander City in 2009 and she accepted a job as the library Learning Resource Assistant. Marty says the favorite thing about her job is being a resource for the students to enable them to complete their assignments and maneuver the technology we provide. In her spare time, she enjoys spending time with family and friends, and all the activities in the Alexander City community and on Lake Martin.
