HISTORY
In March 1904 the citizens of Laurens voted in favor of establishing a free public library to be known as Laurens Public Library. One hundred years later this state accredited library is an active educational, social, and cultural institution for the community. A Carnegie Library building served the community from 1910-1975. An intensive community fund drive resulted in the dedication of the present building in 1976
