Library funding

Introduced·1/14/25
Introduced Text

South Carolina S0104 establishes a per capita funding formula for county libraries and requires certification of content restrictions.

South Carolina S0104 amends the state code to allocate funds for county libraries based on population, ensuring no county receives less than $150,000. County libraries must certify that they do not offer materials appealing to the prurient interests of children under 17 in youth sections and that such materials are only available with parental consent. Libraries must recertify this information quarterly to receive funds.
