Pitt Community College (PCC) was chartered in March 1961 by the North Carolina State Board of Education. Since then, the library has grown right alongside the campus, supporting 44 associate degree programs, 20 certificate programs, 22 diploma programs, 18 university transfer programs, and a variety of continuing education options.

Today, the library is located in the two-story Clifton W. Everett Building. The first floor is a spacious, open area with plenty of different study spots and the circulation desk at the center of it all. Upstairs, you'll find the print collection - over 24,000 items - along with a computer lab, the reference desk, and several study rooms. The library also provides digital resources, which include over 150 databases containing thousands of materials.

Currently the library is staffed by five full-time librarians, two part-time librarians, one full-time staff member, and three part-time staff members - all here to help our students make the most of their library experience.
