My major complaint is that the circulation department at West Regional is extremely slow. In particular the library purchases movies for rental. The circulation/preparation department then sits on them for six to eight weeks after release date before making them available to rent. Now on average new release movies cost from $15.00 to $35.00 each. In most cases they will purchase from 12-20 copies of the movie. At the rental rate of 75 cents for a one week rental or the same amount for a three week rental of T.V. shows by the time they are available to rent the library never recoups the initial investment for each title. This is my major beef. The library uses taxpayer funds to make these purchases knowing full well they are going to lose money on each title. It used to not be this way. What can be done? Probably nothing. Who can fight governmental organizations and win!!!

To anyone thinking about going to Coastal Alabama Community College please read and heed the…read morefollowing or you will possibly be having to take the same classes later on, even if you transferred to an in-state college. Here's my story: I went to this place back in the early 1990s when it used to be called "Faulkner State Community College." Back when I started there I was uncertain as to what my major was going to be, but I knew I was going to transfer to the University of South Alabama (or South Alabama as it's called) to finish my degree. For two years, I went to Faulkner State and took my basic classes. One of the things they said back then (and from what I heard they still do) is "all classes transfer to the college of your choice." South Alabama is an in-state college so I figured when I transferred it it shouldn't be a problem as I thought all my classes would transfer over without an issue. Then I transferred to South Alabama, and when I did, boy was I fuming! According to my transcripts from Faulkner State when I transferred I should have been a class or two shy of being a junior, but when I learned there was a whole slew of classes that South Alabama would not take, it put me back to being a freshman again I was furious! I was also on a limited income and didn't have that much money for college so I had to start working full-time and going to school at night which messed my plans up as I was planning to finish classes during the day. Turns out, I was not the only one as there were other students that happened to. One guy I knew who went through the Faulkner State "pre-engineering program" transferred to Auburn university only to learn there was several classes Auburn would not take causing him to pretty much start from scratch. Well, I took it as a lesson learned and although it screwed up my plans and caused me to have to go to college about a year and a half more, I eventually did finish my degree. Well, fast forward a little over 20 years later. My daughter recently graduated from high school and decided she wanted to go to Coastal Alabama. At first, I was a little skittish about her going there because I remember what it used to be when it was Faulkner State. I wondered if the only thing had changed about that place was nothing but the name and that's it. Well, that was exactly what happened: they changed the name and the name only. She took basic classes at Coastal, then transferred to South Alabama's nursing program only to learn she lost about five classes, putting her about a year behind graduating. You can imagine mine and anger at this point in time! I thought that place had changed for the better but it didn't and it's still the same old money grabbing lying institution it was when it used to be known as Faulkner State. Transferring out of state is one thing and I understand you can lose classes, but transferring in-state should not be a problem. The only recourse I have against this joke masquerading as a community college is to warn everyone else of what happened with me and my daughter. 20+ years is a long time for things to change, but once again, the only thing that changed about Faulkner State was its name as it's still the same lying money, laundering entity masquerading as a community college. I heard rumors that Faulkner State had been sued because of that which makes me wonder if that's the reason why they change their name to Coastal? Nevertheless, my daughter eventually graduated South Alabama, is now a nurse and we both have taken pleasure (and will continue to do so) in turning upwards of at least 40 people away from Coastal Alabama. After hearing our story, they went somewhere else. So PLEASE before you think Coastal Alabama would be a good choice to start out at then transfer to a major university, think it over otherwise you're going to be wasting time and money. I remember when I went to Faulkner State. There were people that called it a "glorified high school." I take it a step further: Coastal Alabama is a bovine excrement entity that spreads nothing but lies and BS. You have been warned!
