Sumter County Library

Very nice library at the main building downtown and a smaller but convenient location on Wesmark Blvd. I’ve visited both locations many times. I cannot adequately describe the employees at both locations. They are friendly, respectful, and always seem eager to assist. It is rare to visit a business with such consistent customer service skills. Also, I always enjoy attending the Friends Of The Library book sale. Love it!

This is the location for the new library and it’s quite a structure, especially in comparison to it’s old location (not the one on Wesmark, that’s just a branch). It’s behind Tuomey, next to the administrative buildings (where the Clemson Co-​op is).
This library uses a new keyring card for identification. That may be standard now, I don’t know.
The building itself is quite nice, with a large children’s area off to the right when you enter and they have their own computers for playing on. Periodicals, best-​seller books, and videos are off to the left. Upstairs is the rest of the books plus a general-​use computer section with approximately 30 stations.
Book selection is still lacking, that’s a quality that carried over from the previous location, but is definitely better than it was. I gave it 4 stars because that’s just how much better it is now (for a library alone I’d give it a 3 – 3.5).
