📖 About Calhoun County Library
The Calhoun County Library serves the residents of Calhoun County, South Carolina, from its home at 900 F.R. Huff Drive in St. Matthews. Calhoun County, named for statesman John C. Calhoun, is a predominantly rural lowcountry county with fewer than 15,000 residents, making the library an especially vital community anchor. The library is governed by a seven-member Board of Trustees representing five county districts and is a member of SCLENDS, a consortium of 20 South Carolina county libraries and the State Library that shares a unified catalog and circulating materials across member institutions. Cardholders can pick up materials at any SCLENDS library, broadening access far beyond the county's borders. Digital collections are enhanced through DISCUS, the state-funded research database, and the Jasmine Digital Library consortium for eBooks and audiobooks via the Libby app.
