The Art Library serves the needs of the students, faculty and staff of the Lamar Dodd School of Art. We provide a unique and extensive collection of art periodicals, the newest art book releases, course reserves, reference material, and a zine collection.

The space includes a group study room and a screening room complete with DVD, VHS and Blu-ray player and a record player along with a media collection that includes vinyl records, documentaries and video art. Our workstation includes two public computers and a flatbed scanner. 

As a branch of UGA’s larger library system, we receive daily deliveries which allow patrons to request and return books from any other library on campus including GIL express and ILL items.

As the main resource for research at the Lamar Dodd School of Art, the Art Library maintains a collection of Dodd gallery publications, faculty publications and artist files.

The Artist is Reading

The Artist is Reading is a mini-residency of sorts. Reading lists are solicited from visiting artists, scholars and alumni and then displayed throughout the Dodd on a roaming sandwich board. Books, movies, music, and more have been selected, and all can be checked out by students and faculty via the Art Library.

Zine Library

Begun in 2017, the zine library is a donations-based collection featuring works by Dodd students, faculty, alumni, and the broader Athens community.

The collection already includes over 100 zines and is accepting donations.
