Our staff is always here to serve the public with their library-related needs. Library fan Vanessa had this to say about the Arthenia L. Joyner University Area Community Library and their helpful staff:

"I think they have the best staff if it was not for them I don't know how I would have been able to find my job because I did not have a computer at home I just love them so much thank you so much from the Cummings family"
