Visual literacy is an essential skill for students to learn, not only for academic success but also for personal enrichment and lifelong learning. However, many community college students do not receive dedicated visual literacy instruction. Central Carolina Community College (CCCC) Library identified the need for visual literacy programming and plans to implement this programming in Spring 2022. The CCCC Librarians will collaborate with the North Carolina Museum of Art as well as CCCC campus partners to implement this programming. The goal of this programming is to equip students with visual literacy skills through creative and accessible activities. This presentation will reflectively address the development, design, implementation, and assessment process of visual literacy programming at CCCC Library. This presentation aims to provide other community college librarians with resources about how they can incorporate visual literacy programming into their libraries.
