The Lexington County Circulating Library has participated in State Aid since its establishment and in all Library Services and Construction Act grants administered by the State Library for which it qualified. One grant made possible the beginning of a new service to children in Lexington County. A well- planned program was initiated in charge of a fully qualified children's librarian who introduced children and young people to books and reading through films, puppet shows, story telling, and skill games. In 1978 the county library received a special grant to implement a program for retired and older residents of the community. Today the Lexington County Circulating Library offers its patrons much more than books.
Services are available to all age groups and to all sections of the county.
Sound reference service is provided individuals and the business and industry in the county. The library cooperates with many different agencies to provide a wealth of information to its patrons. It has a close relationship with the South Carolina State Library which provides special reference and interlibrary loan service. It cooperates with the South Carolina Museum Commission, the United States Department of Agriculture Soil Conservation Service and with the South Carolina Arts Commission. Coordinating its efforts with these various agencies, the library is able to offer valuable and enriching information for the citizens of Lexington County.
