About the Libraries

The Central Carolina Community College Libraries serve students, faculty, and staff in our three county service area comprised of Chatham, Harnett, and Lee counties. A library is located on the main campus in each county. In 2006, 澳门黄金城赌城 formed a partnership with Chatham County to build a joint-use library on the College's Chatham Main Campus. The Chatham Community Library opened in September 2010 and serves 澳门黄金城赌城 students, as well as public library patrons.
