Main library in Florence, off S Irby St the main road that runs through city. This building is…read moremassive from the outside, although inside half of it is closed off for employees space, parking garage, loading dock, and Book Mobile. The library space inside downstairs has kids section, meeting room, new arrival books, non fiction, books for sale on honor system. Upstairs has the South Carolina room which is the history area with microfiche machines. In addition there is a small art gallery, public computers, study rooms, newspapers. I came here to get library card so could use Libby app for audio books. The employee I spoke to was very pleasant in explaining the library set up.

I remain seriously impressed by the size and stature of this huge library. I did not have an…read moreexpectation that a small city like Florence would have a library this extensive! This was my office for about four hours. I asked the librarian for one of the study rooms and with the door closed, I was able to have Zoom calls and not worry too much about volume. A quiet, private space. Maybe they all fill up after school hours but at 11am? Plenty of availability. Wifi worked well. Outlets worked well. This was a great space.

My husband has started his Masters so I have been dropping by here pretty often to pick up books…read more This library is a part of the SCLENDS program so you can get books from other libraries in the state sent here to borrow. They make it really easy to find books via their website. I can log into my account and place a hold from home and then they will email and/or text when it is available. The reserved books section is to the right when you walk in the door. It's alphabetized by the borrower's last name so you can easily grab your book and head to the checkout stations. If you're checking out a book from another library, you will have to scan the barcode inside the back cover (or some are on the back cover), otherwise the system just knows what the book is when you lay it on the console. The parking lot is pretty small here so I usually have to park in the shopping center lot and walk over (not far). Also, free WiFi here!

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).

I cannot adequately describe the employees at both locations. They are friendly, respectful, and always seem eager to assist.

I especially appreciate the outdoor book drop--you can return books even when the library is closed. Signing up for a library card was straightforward and easy. The library offers printing for a small fee and has many computers available for free public use. There are plenty of tables throughout the space, both in the center and along the sides, making it a great place for independent work or studying. There's also a clearly separated children's book area, which helps keep the space organized and family-friendly. Right when you walk in, you can browse retired library books for sale at a steep discount--often just $1--which is such a fun bonus. My favorite feature is how easy it is to order books online and place them on hold--they'll text you as soon as your book is ready for pickup, which is incredibly convenient. Overall, a well-run, accessible library that makes great use of its space and services. Highly recommend.

If eBooks are your thing, they offer book rentals for it. I like the variety of featured books when you first walk in and the seasonal centerpiece featuring books that fit the bill. Before the pandemic, there used to be a table that had a community jigsaw puzzle which was fun to contribute to. Years ago they had teen programs and craft nights and the summer reading programs gave me something to look forward to as a kid. Also before the pandemic they had events like "color your stress away" where adults could meet up, color, and converse with each other which was neat. There's seating areas and private rooms to fit your needs whether it's to get work done or have a quiet study group.

I wish they were open more because I love so close. But I love being able to pop in and check out a movie or book from the wide selection.

Filled with books that celebrate history, current novelist favorites, children's selection, and a quiet space not yet tarnished and overrun with technology, the Timrod is perhaps the best Library I have encountered yet. It's enough to make anyone re-discover and fall in love with Libraries as they were once intended- a peaceful space to educate oneself and dive into both new and old perspectives. The smells of the old 1915 home make you feel blessed to even be amongst such information that can both educate and open your eyes. Open from 10-5 daily, the fee for membership at this nonprofit is only $25 a year. This type of non profit is a great reminder that not all are the same- the money from membership goes to being able to maintain the site rather than go directly into someone's pocket. Of course you're free to spend time learning complimentarily, but once you set foot inside and are open to all it has to offer, needless to say, I wanted to give more so that this special place can continue to exist and thrive. Did I mention T-shirts. You simply must go. The staff are all wonderful people to care about people and their work. Cindy, Carol, Connie, Louis, Barbara .... these women are pillars of examples of grace and encouragement. Am so happy the Timrod is here, has been here, and better continue to be! Much love, your woman and faithful forever patron, Natalie
