There were some library items and places to sit. As a community center, it would be a nice place to hold a meeting, and there was more than one going on during the evening I dropped by.

My heart is BROKEN! This building is an important…read morehistorical piece of Aiken and it once meant so much to so many of us. I recently returned to visit after being away for over a decade, and I was stunned to see what they called a "modernization" from 2021. This library held such a special place in my heart growing up. Walking through its doors again should've felt like coming home but instead, it felt like a stranger had moved in and redecorated with no sense of what made the place beloved. Sadly, the renovations have taken away much of its character. The ceilings have been lowered, the lighting is harsh and uninviting, and the carpet is distracting and ugly. The once beautiful staircase is now sad and stripped of its former charm--though it still creaks, a small comfort. And perhaps most shocking of all: there are so few books and bookshelves. How can you call it a library when there are so few bookshelves? My heart truly aches for the community, especially for the kids today who won't get to experience the magic this place once held. Even the bathrooms were untouched during the renovation, which makes the whole effort feel hollow and misdirected. It's sad it's not even open on Sundays. It's doing the community a disservice. Whoever approved these changes clearly didn't understand - or worse, didn't care - about what this place meant to the town. They should be ashamed. The only reason for my 3 stars is that the staff was friendly, knowledgeable and knowledge is power - go support your local library. Other than that, Aiken, get your act together. This was the biggest waste of money I've ever seen in my life. I'm glad I don't live here anymore.

This location also has a children's arts and crafts section, which I would've loved when I was a kid. However, what stood out about this particular branch was the quality in which the books were curated and displayed. I loved walking through the aisles and checking out the different categories and genres, as well as the New York Times bestsellers and Pulitzer Prize-winning books. Although I had placed a hold, I walked away with two (2) other books that I thought would be interesting, owing to the effort that the librarians exerted in crafting the displays of books. All-in-all, this is yet another fantastic branch of the Richland Library system, and I loved my trip here!
