Libraries have gone live on the new SC LENDS online catalog system. SC LENDS is
the<i> </i>South Carolina Library Evergreen Network Delivery System and is a
growing network of libraries in South Carolina sharing resources. Now, SC LENDS

borrowers around the state.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

along with Union and Beaufort County Libraries, moved to the SC LENDS system on
May 28, 2009. According to Laura Sponhour, statewide SC LENDS Project Manager,
“The system provides cardholders from member libraries access to library
resources from all SC LENDS libraries. People who use the SC LENDS online
catalog can see what member libraries have in their collections and request
items to be delivered to their home libraries.” She continued to say
that, “SC LENDS opens up a world of possibilities for citizens in the
state by providing them greater access to books and information than ever
before.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
