Libraries connect patrons and community members to critical information related to basic needs and also provide reference support, digital literacy training, and technology access. Public and community college libraries tend to operate independently from each other, but through collaborative partnerships they could enhance their impact and reach. This report highlights the first case study in a series of formal academic-public library partnerships, focusing on the joint-use library partnership between Central Carolina Community College (CCCC) and Chatham Community Library. CCCC provides library services at each campus in Chatham, Harnett, and Lee counties. This report provides an overview of the partnership's evolution and current services, challenges they have encountered, and potential opportunities for future development. |
