About the Library

The Atlanta Technical College (ATC) Library is located on the south end of the campus in building G. The state-of-the-art facility is 16,000+ square feet and features group study pods, a law library, film editing suite, electronic classroom and contemporary display cases.


The library operates in accordance with TCSG Institutional Standards and COC criteria. It has a clearly developed purpose that complements the goals of ATC as an educational facility. This purpose is seen throughout the library and in the selection of library and learning services materials which consists of books, technical manuals, professional journals, popular periodicals, and supplements to library materials. The library provides dedicated space for its collections, computer workstations, and patron tables and chairs.
