Central Piedmont New Titles

Archives Corner

Central Piedmont Archives staff has curated an exhibition entitled "Creative Outlets: 60 Years of Achievements in the Arts and Advocacy." This is a collaborative exhibition displaying works of art preserved in the archives, as well as materials loaned from the art galleries, engineering courses, student life, and student engagement.

The exhibit is located in the hallway directly around the corner from the archives department (Hagemeyer Library, Third Floor, Room 3250) and is viewable during normal library hours. For those unable to visit the Central Campus, an online guide is also available: https://researchguides.cpcc.edu/creativeoutletsexhibit.

The exhibit will be on display through December.

What is a Makerspace?

A makerspace is a collaborative work space that allows someone to enter with an idea for a project and leave with a finished product. The makerspace at the Central Campus Library offers 3D printing, laser engraving and cutting, sewing and embroidery, vinyl cutting, large format printing, and an array of arts and craft supplies to help you get started making.

For more information about our Makerspace, check out our guide.
