South Carolina State Library is the primary administrator of federal and state
support for the state’s libraries. The Library is a national model for
innovation, collaboration, leadership and effectiveness. The
Library’s mission is to optimize South Carolina’s investment in
library and information services. In 1969, as the result of action by the
General Assembly, the State Library Board was redesignated as the South
Carolina State Library and assumed responsibility for public library
development, library service for state institutions, service for the blind and
physically handicapped, and library service to state government agencies.
Headquartered in Columbia, S.C., the Library is funded by the state of South
Carolina, by the federal government through the Institute of Museum and Library
Services, and other sources. For more information, visit </span><a
