nity Partnership: Get a Library Card!
Savery Library has partnered with the public libraries in Talladega County to share resources and expand services. With a current student ID, students can now get cards at the public libraries in Childersburg, Lincoln, Munford, Talladega, and Sylacauga. This will allow access to these libraries' resources, including books and online databases, to supplement the resources offered at Savery. Please take advantage of it.
Visit:
Talladega Armstrong-Osborne Public Library
B.B. Comer Memorial Library (Sylacauga)
Rainwater Memorial Library (Childersburg)
Students can use Talladega College's address as their home address to be eligible for the public library cards:

In honor of Black History Month, we celebrate Dr. Jane Ellen McAllister, Talladega College class of 1919.
Ellen, as she was known then, entered Talladega College as a freshman in 1915 at the age of 15. In 1919, she was the youngest person ever to graduate from TC.
Always a determined and assiduous student, McAllister would become the first African American woman to earn a PhD in Education, from Columbia University in 1929.
McAllister would go on to serve as a professor or director at almost a dozen HBCUs. She served on the Talladega College board of trustees for close to 20 years. Later, after her retirement, a dormitory on the campus of Jackson State would be named for her. Currently there are plans in place to turn her home in Vicksburg, MS, into a museum.
Several weeks back, Savery Library received a donation from David Rae Morris, a documentary filmmaker in New Orleans. In addition to making a film about the life of Dr. McAllister, Morris wrote his master's thesis on her back in 1991. Mr. Morris was kind enough to donate a copy of his thesis as well as some artifacts to the college. Negotiations are underway to have the documentary film shown on campus this year. (Stay tuned!)
If you would like to read more about Jane Ellen McAllister ,or you would like to see some of her papers, please make an appointment to visit the Archives.
