The founders chose to name the library after Henry Timrod as a fitting memorial to the South Carolinian poet known as the Laureate of Confederacy. The Certificate of Incorporation states that the purpose of the corporation is "the literary culture of its members and personal efforts of each towards the support and advancement of a circulating library."
It was signed by the Board's officers: Anna Richardson, President, Ellen Ford, Vice President, Emma Ladd, Secretary and Sarah Hughes, Treasurer. R.M. McCown signed as the SC Secretary of State.
The Timrod Library is open to all for a modest membership fee. The library's hours are Monday through Friday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. For more information, visit our website at www.timrodlibrary.org or call 871-4600.
