MTC Turner County Campus Opens New Library to Community

Turner County Campus Library

What was a simple break room and open study hall area on Moultrie Technical College’s Turner County Campus on Rock House Road in Ashburn has taken on a warm and welcoming atmosphere for students, faculty and staff, complete with the scent of coffee beans among stacks of books.  The former break room has been split in half to create a café and vending environment and a library with a small computer lab.

“There was nowhere quiet for the students to study.  The campus needed a library for its students,” said MTC Turner County Campus Dean of Academic Affairs Brandi Giddens.
According to MTC President Tina Anderson, “We want the students to feel special.  It is going to be the smallest but the most fantastic library area among all of MTC’s campuses.  This will make it a full-service campus for our students.”

The campus held an Open House event on Thursday, March 4th in partnership with the Ashburn-Turner County Chamber of Commerce to welcome the community to the new library facility.
