State Funding Is Needed For Libraries

Governor Mark Sanford has recently decided to cut state aid to public libraries in South Carolina. What does that mean for your library? It means we need all of you, our great patrons, Friends of the Library members and community partners to notify your local senator or representative and let them know this cannot stand. Libraries are the hub of our communities. Without them, where would so many people go to apply for jobs, improve their education, hold important meetings which tie communities and neighborhoods together? Our local and state economies will certainly suffer if funding to our library and other public libraries around the state are cut even further.

Please take the time to contact your local legislator and let them know how much we mean to you and for our. If you do not know your local legislator, use the following link:
