Located right across the street from the Lexington County Administration Building is Lexington's Virginia Hylton Park. Featuring everything from walking trails to playgrounds to picnic areas, Virginia Hylton Park is a beautiful asset to the Town of Lexington. Within the park is an area called the Pat Jeffcoat Serenity Park. Here is where you can find a free library filled with books and resources for patrons.
The LCSC is working with the park to ensure that educational materials are always available in the library. These materials will be for people of all ages. Currently, the library contains a variety of informational bookmarks and the following free items:
