I've spent many an hour studying in libraries but after my last experience getting a study room here I'm not sure I'll be back to this library anytime soon. I'll definitely never ask for a study room again. The man at the desk upstairs seemed to adopt the attitude of a prison warden when I asked for a room, but I filled out the little sign-in sheet and was halfway to the room when he called out to me and beckoned me back with his finger as if I were a small schoolchild. He then asked if I had gotten a study room recently. A little puzzled at the interrogation tone, I said within the last year or so. He informed me that "the rules had changed" and handed me a sheet of mostly needless-to-say things. (Just post the rules in the rooms themselves if you feel like they need to be seen, or better yet don't bother someone until they're actually in violation of a rule.) The experience was so unnecessarily unpleasant I couldn't think about my work for 5 minutes after I sat down. I don't think I was dressed so badly.... I've had good experiences at this library otherwise.

We just moved to the area and were so excited to get our cards. We are big fans of supporting the local library and we're more than willing to become donors. Upon arriving we were told that despite an offer letter and lease proof, because my husband's job didn't start for two more days we couldn't get cards. My two young children left with tears because your employees lacked basic human compassion and reasoning. Just a shame.

AARP Tax-Aide, which has provided free preparation services at the library for many years, will not be doing so at the library this year due to COVID related occupancy restrictions adopted at the main library. Contact/venue information is not yet available for Tax-Aide’s local service this year, but as soon as it is, we will make that available. In the meantime, the following organizations are offering free tax services (subject to limitations) by appointment only: SCThrive (803-726-8774) FMU School of Business (843-661-1427) United Way VITA program (843-662-2407) We also have a limited selection of federal tax booklets and forms in our main lobby (mask covering nose and mouth, and temperature check required for entry).
