Check out the Main Library on Goodwood Blvd. The paths are filled with local flora. A peaceful walk among the crepe myrtles.

Always a pleasure! This time I had left a reserve expire by 1 day; I'd had a week to pick up the book but just didn't find the time to go. The staff were good enough to find it for me while I waited! Excellent service, terrific selection. All remains well with the Main Library. Still has excellent services and a cordial staff.

Does the library offer computer literacy classes, and if so when are the classes scheduled?

Elizabeth Morgan | Oct 1, 2018
Kabi Boothe | Oct 1, 2018

I dont think anyone from the library itself monitors these google questions, so you may get better answers calling them directly. I took a quick look at the schedule posted on the website and they seem to have classes in a few computer basics (like email, Excell and word).

Audio books to download to kindle?

Ruby Bencel | Oct 1, 2018
KRIS2323 | Oct 1, 2019

You can "borrow" (and/or rent anything that they may have available to the public) as long as it's anything that can be digitally & electronically downloaded onto whatever device you choose to use but its just like borrowing a dvd, a CD, or an actual book from them. Whatever audio book(s) you choose to borrow from them will be "virtually" removed from whichever device you used as soon as the 2 week long rental (and/or "grace") period is up.

Are there computers we can use to work?

Isabelle Ardaens | Oct 1, 2018
Axsthetic | Oct 1, 2018

Yes, there are computers. They're open to the public, with and without a library card. However, I recommend bringing a library card, it will help you stay on the computer for longer than 30 minutes.

Are you able to pay late fees online? If not, does the library accept partial payments in person or do you have to pay it as a single payment? Is it possible to use wireless connection(via phone, etc.) for printing services?

Jacqueline Smith | Oct 1, 2019
Jasmine Gaulden | Oct 1, 2019

You have only pay your fees in cash inside. However the integrated option to pay online will be any day now, they even installed the pay yourself credit card machines at the self service stands in the library. They are there and plugged up but software hasnt launched yet. You can also make partial payments of as little or as much as you want. As long as your balance is below $25 you can still check out, use computers/printers and use study/meeting rooms. Once you hit $25 you just have to pay anything to get it back down even if its just a penny to $24.99. So if paying your fees in not possible at the moment but they are still below $25 you have no worries.
