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
