Pickens County Library System

Youth Services Department includes material in a variety of formats. Our collection was developed especially for the interests and needs of children and the grown-ups who work for them. There are two main areas; Juvenile Books (for our elementary students) and our Easy Book collection (aimed at pre school children). These books are located in the Children's Room. Please remember, librarians are here to help you. If you do not see an item you need in the catalog or on the shelves, a librarian can place it on hold for you or even request that the book be ordered.

Fiction
Our fiction collection includes award books, picture books, board books, beginning to read books and chapter books. We also have a special section of oversized books which are ideal for sharing with groups of children.
