The Greenville County Library System has officially opened its Blue Ridge Branch. The decision to open a branch in the area was due to the popularity of the Bookmobile services in the region. The new branch offers more extensive services and has a collection of new books covering all genres. The branch will start having more regular activities and events in January, including children's story time, a LEGO club and teen art programs. The library system encourages patron recommendations for the collection, and the community can submit up to three formal suggestions per month.
