Melanie Huggins
Executive Director of the Richland County Public Library

Take a moment to search the catalog, download e-books, music and more or find a staff pick for you or your child’s next read. You can also find information on programs and art exhibits, or read the RCPL is Talking About blog.

Dear friends, We librarians are a funny group. We have our own little “holidays” as it were—our own insider “celebrations” that give our profession a boost and help to remind us why we chose librarianship in the first place. And two of those special biblio-centric happenings occur in September: Library Card Sign- Up Month and Banned Books Week....>> Read More
