Renovations will provide a modern and flexible library space allowing for both traditional and contemporary library programs and services. Upgrades will include a complete relocation and redecoration of the Youth Services area; the addition of small group

study and program rooms; a fully accessible Americans with Disabilities Act compliant family restroom; as well as new finishes and furniture throughout the building.

In December 2023, the library closed off its main Lobby to service and temporarily began operations from the community meeting room with a small collection of materials and public- personal computers. It’s anticipated that the main lobby will be re-open for service later this spring, after which updates to the Community Meeting Room will begin, including new carpet, paint, furnishings, a kitchenette and storage room. This room, which will be named in honor of

SRNS, will re-open for service in the late summer.

"We are very grateful for this very generous gift from Savannah River Nuclear Solutions and the vote of confidence it provides to the community about the importance of the Nancy Carson Library to our population,” said Gene Helmich, President of the Friends of the Nancy Carson Library Foundation. "Their strong support sends a message that now is the time to ensure our community has a safe and beautiful place to read, gather, learn and grow."
