Alumnae & Visitors

The primary mission of McCain Library is to support the information and research needs of current Agnes Scott College students, faculty and staff.

We also serve graduates of the college, family of faculty and staff, ARCHE interlibrary use patrons and special guests of the college. Library privileges extended to alumnae, visitors and other "guest borrowers" are intended to supplement the resources available through the guest's own employer, school or public library. 

Visitors under the age of 16 should be accompanied by an adult.

Please sign the Visitor Register at the front desk.

Librarians are available on weekdays to assist with locating and retrieving resources. To ensure a librarian is able to assist with your research needs, please call 404.471.6096 or email library@ooohang.com.

Archives researchers should request an appointment prior to visiting at archives@ooohang.com.
