Want a book we don't have?
We want to offer books you want to read. We will do our best to order a book you request as long as it is age-appropriate and available for an affordable price.
If we are able to acquire a book you have requested, we will let you know as soon as it arrives via email. The book will be held for you for three days to give you the first chance to read the library's new addition!

The Kershaw County Public Library (KCPL) is a great resource and may have a book we don't! KCPL also offers programs throughout the week including crafting activities, role playing games, and book clubs!
