Our Bookstore will Remain Open during the Main Library’s Closure

Dear Friends,
You may have heard that the Main Library in Rock Hill will be closing on September 27 for approximately 6 months for a major electrical upgrade.

The Friends of the Library want to assure you that our bookstore, Friends Book on Main, will remain open during the library’s closure.

Please visit us and shop our great selection of books for all ages, as well as CDs, puzzles, DVDs and audio books, all at bargain prices. Located at 206 E. Main Street, Rock Hill, we’re open Thursday-Saturday from 10 am – 4 pm. All proceeds benefit York County Libraries.

We hope to see you soon!
