Community 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

Munford Public Library

B.B. Comer Memorial Library (Sylacauga)

Lincoln Public Library

Rainwater Memorial Library (Childersburg)

 

Students can use Talladega College's address as their home address to be eligible for the public library cards:

The Yearbook That Never Was:

A big thanks is owed to alum Luther Garrison ('74), who stopped by Savery Library this week to drop off the holy grail of yearbooks, the 1974 Amistad. Or rather, to drop off the cover of the "Yearbook That Never Was."

As told to us by 1974 yearbook staff co-editor, John Leach ('74), he and fellow editor Zelda "Yogi" Bowie ('74) discovered the film they had dropped off to be processed downtown had been ruined in processing. None of the photos could be used, and few of the negatives survived.

It was never proven that the film had been ruined on purpose, but it has been suggested that the owner of the shop didn't like the looks of a white man and a black woman coming into the store together. Regardless of the reason, the photos for the yearbook could not be produced, and the 1974 Amistad yearbook was never completed.

Luckily, yearbook covers were made. And, even luckier still, a few alumni took some as souvenirs. Above is one of those covers. A truly rare item and proof once again: when alumni donate to the Archives, we all benefit.
