Central Carolina Community College (CCCC)

The Chatham Community Library is a joint-use library between CCCC and Chatham County on the Chatham Campus in Pittsboro. A full list of their policies can be found on their website.

Students are not to bring children to the campus while attending classes or other activities or using the library. Children should not be left unattended in cars while parents attend class or campus business.

Library Children Policy: If a parent brings a child under age 16 into the college library for a brief visit (i.e. to return or to check out books), the child must be accompanied at all times by the parent, and the parent must closely supervise the child to ensure that he/she does not disturb others. If the child is creating a disturbance, the parent will be asked to leave with the child. Bringing children into the college library for extended periods while doing research, writing a paper, or studying is not permitted.

Library Collection Development Policies

Library computers are provided to conduct research and to communicate with others in support of the college’s educational mission. Students, faculty, staff, public patrons, and campus visitors are expected to use computer resources in an ethical, legal, and responsible manner. By logging onto library computers, users acknowledge that they are aware of and agree to the CCCC Acceptable Use Policy. Any use of library computers that violates college policy, violates federal, state, or local laws, alters computer and/or network settings, promotes commercial activity, intends harm or distress to others, or is obscene or malicious in nature is prohibited. Computer access is a privilege, not a right. Violations may result in loss of access and/or disciplinary action.

• Sending or displaying obscene messages or pictures

• Harassing, insulting, or attacking others
• Damaging computers, computer systems, or computer networks
• Violating copyright laws
