The Information Commons on the Lex Walters Campus in Greenwood and the Learning Resource Centers at Piedmont Tech's Laurens and Newberry County Centers are open to the public.
Who May Borrow PTC Library Materials?
The Library extends borrowing privileges to students enrolled in Piedmont Tech's credit programs, Piedmont Tech employees, students and employees at other South Carolina colleges and universities, and residents of the South Carolina counties of Abbeville, Edgefield, Greenwood, Laurens, McCormick, Newberry, and Saluda. We will loan library materials to anyone who:
-
presents a Piedmont Tech identification card or library card,
-
does not owe excessive library fines,
-
does not have lost library items, and
-
and who has not exceeded their borrowing limit.
