 The Horry County Memorial Library provides limited space in each Library for the distribution of materials concerning civic and non-profit organizations, and community events.

The Library does not accept religious proselytizing or partisan political materials, petitions, or items from for-profit organizations and businesses.

The Library accepts materials from non-profits and governmental organizations. Examples include information for community services, events, or educational opportunities.

The Library reserves the right to determine the suitability and quantities of material accepted. The Library disposes of unused materials.

The Library will make no effort to monitor distribution to the public.

Distribution of Library materials takes priority over non-Library materials.
