Arranged alphabetically by subject, the guide has been produced for over a decade by the Public Information Office based largely on the kinds of questions that the office regularly receives by phone, email, or social media. Information in the guide is reviewed and revised annually for accuracy.

• Multimodal Transportation Center publication racks under outdoor covered area
• Courthouse publication rack (inside Hancock Avenue entrance)

• City Hall / Public Information Office

Along with the A to Z subject listings, the guide also includes:

The cover for the 2021 edition of the ACC from A to Z Guide features scanned artwork of the City Hall dome created by local baker Ashley King from Classic City Confections specifically for the guide. Based in Athens, GA, Ashley specializes primarily in wedding and event cakes, and has been featured in numerous online and print publications throughout the years.

The cover artwork is the fifth in the annual Athens Artist Cover Series versions of the ACC from A to Z Guide to showcase a different local artist’s interpretation of City Hall in their respective media. Covers for previous editions were created by watercolor artist Jamie Calkin, mosaic artist Randy Sanders of Corazon Mosaics, embroidery artist Rachel Winters of Flora Embroidery, and chalk artist Marvella Castaneda.
