We hope you’ll bookmark our site on your home computer so you can return again and again for answers, ideas, and help to meet your needs. From this front page, you’ll have access to the three libraries in our system, the online catalog for our collections, a calendar of events for upcoming programs, and so much more! Email, social media, videos, news, and online resources are just a few ways your library supports your school, work, and leisure pursuits. Enjoy browsing, and as always, we’re just a phone call or visit away when you need us.
SCPLS libraries (King Family, Williams Family Seymour Branch, & Gilreath Family Kodak Branch) will be closed due to the weather-related road conditions on Monday, February 2. Libraries should reopen at 10 AM on Tuesday, February 3. Thank you for understanding.
Due to the uncooperative weather this month, the party planned for tomorrow has been rescheduled once more because of the back-to-back winter weather events we’ve experienced over the past two weekends. We are now planning a combined event for the American Girl Doll and the I Survived books, scheduled for April 2026. We sincerely apologize for having to make this decision and hope you understand our commitment to keeping everyone safe in the event of hazardous weather conditions. We’re not giving up, just doing some creative pivoting with the schedule and plans. Stay tuned for more updates on how the American Girl Doll and the I Survived book events will unfold in celebration of America 250.
The SCPLB will meet on February 3 at 5:30 p.m. at the King Family Library.
