I hope the people of Greenville realize what a gem they have in this library. I spend one day per week, during the school year, in Greenville.

We are so lucky to have this amazing library in our town! They offer innovative and fun programs for all ages and truly serve as a hub for our community!

I have really enjoyed visiting this library. It is so nice! The staff are helpful and kind. It’s very clean and well-organized. They have lots of options available.

I have been spending a great deal of time at the Greenville Library in the past month! Really enjoying the Local History Room as I have explored the assets of the online searches! Having access to Ancestry Library Edition is priceless!! And so beneficial as I'm working on two DAR applications for prospective members!! The library staff have been very helpful and friendly at every turn. I am now making it my 2-3 day a week go-to spot to get the answers I'm seeking!! Thank you for this wonderful resource!!
