Where to Search?

Very few libraries have card catalogs anymore, and Anderson County Library is no exception. We have updated our card catalog system; it is accessible by clicking on the library logo shown at right. You can search our catalog with a number of options, including the familiar title, author, and subject. Check out the new Best Seller List, Recommended Reading List of Award books, and find out what other people in Anderson are reading. We hope you’ll find it easy to use. However, if you have any questions or comments you may email the Circulation Department at: circulation@andersonlibrary.org.

Although the collection of the Anderson County Library is constantly growing, we cannot purchase material to satisfy every request. We are always willing to try and borrow items we cannot buy using Interlibrary Loan. We have a computer link which allows us to borrow from libraries all over the country. Please ask your librarian for help if you cannot locate a title in our catalog. We may be able to borrow it for you.
