SCLENDS Public Library Lending Consortium to Suspend Operations until Further Notice
SCLENDS, which stands for “South Carolina Library Evergreen Network Delivery System," is a consortium of 20 county libraries and the State Library that shares resources and circulating materials. SCLENDS libraries share a single catalog, which means that patrons can search for items at any of the libraries as easily as they search for items at their home library.
COVID-19 Resources
The South Carolina State Library has put together a resource guide that contains links to information which may be helpful to library staff related to the novel coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic. Information includes guidance specifically related to public libraries, and cleaning and disinfecting areas of the library. This guide will be regularly updated to include any new information as it is received.
