Sign Up for a Library Card!

September is Library Card Sign-Up Month! This month is recognized nationwide to encourage individuals to sign up for library cards, promoting academic achievement and lifelong learning.

What better way of celebrating than signing up for a library card! At the South Carolina State Library, SC residents age 18 and over are eligible to apply for a free library card and may borrow circulating materials from our collections and access our electronic resources.

The State Library offers two ways to access our services:

  • Physical cards which provide access to all physical and digital resources, and; 
  • E-cards which grant instant access to all digital services and materials.

Come visit the State Library and get a library card!
