The South Carolina State Library System is composed of the State Library in Columbia and a network of public libraries distributed throughout the state's counties. These public libraries serve their local communities by providing access to books, digital resources, computer and internet services, programming, and educational opportunities.
South Carolina's Public Library System plays a vital role in supporting and strengthening public library services across the state, ensuring that all residents have access to information, resources, and opportunities for learning and personal development.
