National Library Week is April 11-17, 2010. The Greenville Public Library was opened on May 20, 1921 with about 500 books; today the Greenville County Library System has 12 locations and over 786,000 books!

Established in 1921 with only 500 books, the Greenville County Library System has grown into eleven locations and a website offering information, entertainment, and enrichment with nearly 1 million available items. Visit any branch and you will find a welcoming place offering free Internet access, books, DVDs, music, online resources, research assistance, genealogy help, programs for all ages, and much more. A bookmobile serves the rural parts of the county and homebound service is available to those who cannot visit a local library.

Our knowledgeable and expert staff can help you find reliable information -- on the shelves or online. Check out the Greenville County Library System and find out why it’s the best place for guided access to information and exploring your world!
