Art Library
The Art Library serves the needs of the students, faculty and staff of the Dodd. We provide a unique and extensive collection of art periodicals, the newest art book releases, course reserves, reference material, and a zine collection.
Our space includes two computer workstations with the full suite of Adobe software and flatbed and overhead scanners. We have two study rooms that can be reserved, otherwise they are available on a first come first served basis. We also have a small media collection that includes documentaries and video art.
As a branch of UGA’s larger library system, we receive daily deliveries from other campus libraries. This allows 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 Dodd, the Art Library maintains a collection of faculty publications, MFA exhibition catalogs, and Dodd Galleries’ publications.
Art Librarians are on hand whenever we are open to assist you with your research needs!

Zine Library & Makerspace
Begun in 2017, the zine library is a donations-based collection featuring works by Dodd students, faculty, alumni, and the broader Athens community. With over 350 titles and counting, the zines represent a broad range of authors, artists, and topics.
Our zine makerspace provides supplies and tools for patrons to start their own zine or collage. Free to use! We have markers, old magazines, paper, binding thread, a long-reach stapler, stickers, scissors, and glue. We also maintain a small collection of how-to books makers can reference when creating their own small books and zines.
