  Those state funds directly impact the libraries' ability to buy books and library materials, York County Library Director Colleen Carney said.
  
  "When money gets that tight, sooner or later our users will feel it, which means longer hold lists for bestsellers, buying fewer copies . . . but we're doing the best we can," Carney said.
  ...
  So far, the library's funding has remained stable, and Carney expects the upcoming fiscal year to be no exception.
  
  "We are fortunate that we have great support from the local county council and that our area hasn't taken the hits the rest of the country has," Carney said.

  Library use is up because of a combination of factors -- the county's growth and the economic downturn, said Colleen Carney, director of the York County Library.
  ...
  Carney said in 2008, the York County Library increased the number of computers in its lab from 12 to 19. "And there's still a wait all the time," she said.
  ...
  Work was done by the staff and cost less than $300, Carney said.
  
  During November, administrative offices were moved to a building on Main Street to make room for a children's activity area, which has added 1,300 square feet of space, said Carney.

  That's the message Colleen Carney, director of the York County Library, is sending to county officials who are loosely discussing a downtown high school that could share the Rock Hill branch of the county's public library.
  
  "We can't be open to the general public and still provide the same security as a typical high school," Carney said."There are different security measures that you don't have in a library."
  
  The issue surfaced last month when York County Council discussed future plans for the downtown library.School and county officials informally have discussed sharing facilities if the school district ever decided to build a magnet high school downtown.But Carney, who admits all talks are strictly preliminary, is skeptical of the logistics.
  
  Because the York County Library is funded with public grants and tax dollars, it must be accessible to all people.Carney said by allowing all residents to use the building, it would be hard to maintain the strict security followed at most high school campuses today, where visitors are required to sign in and often be escorted by staff.
  
  Everyone -- moms with children, homeless people and the elderly -- is free to browse materials at the library, Carney said, unlike a high school where the controlled environment is constantly monitored by teachers.
  
  Library is safe, director says
  
  That doesn't mean the public library isn't a safe place, Carney said.In the past two years, there have been 16 criminal offenses committed at the library, according to Rock Hill police records.Most of those are minor incidents including bicycle thefts outside the building and some vandalism, records show.
  
  Carney said she's open to sharing facilities with the school district but wants to be sure proper staff and security measures are considered.
  
  "It's more of an issue for the schools to consider," she said.

  "Anytime we close, it's an issue," said Colleen Carney, the county's library director. "Our only time that we can do repairs are either between the holidays when school is out or during August."
  
  Waiting until August wasn't an option because library officials wanted to capitalize on some unused space available when some offices such as bookkeeping and community relations were moved. The move freed up 1,300 square feet that can be used by the public, Carney said.
  
  Next week's closure marks the second time in two years the library's main branch has been closed for revamping.
  
  Despite space limitations, building a new library -- or just expanding the existing one -- is not an option now, Carney said.
  
  A $75 million county bond package that would've paid for a new main library, along with several other projects, failed in a 2006 referendum.
  
  "There is no way we can expand where we are so we are trying to maximize the public service space," Carney said.
  ...
  "By switching the two departments, we are literally moving the entire first-floor collections around," Carney said.

  Around 200 library users have downloaded this program, which has been active for about a year, library Director Colleen Carney said . About 75 to 100 movies are viewed a month.
  
  The county pays for this subscription because it's more cost-effective than buying new DVDs for people to borrow from the branches, she said.
  
  "Our policy is parents monitor what their children watch," Carney said.
  ...
  The library doesn't subscribe to R-rated films through the program, but Carney said they occasionally "slip through."
  
  Because foreign films often aren't rated, Carney said the only option would be to block all of them, including award-winning and classic movies.
  
  "It is difficult when we block ratings or filter -- we reduce every adult to the level of a child," Carney said."I'm not advocating the library spend taxpayer money on anything inappropriate, but I hate to block access to award-winning films because of this."
  
  Carney said they've only received one complaint about My Library DV.

  Give credit to York County Library Director Colleen Carney and the staff of the main branch of the library for doing what they can to serve the public in an outmoded facility.
  
  While the library in downtown Rock Hill was closed over the holidays, officials did a little remodeling.Although Carney concedes that the library has outgrown available space, she is committed to making the best use of the space that is available and to do so on a limited budget.
  
  To that end, the technology lab was moved from the first floor to the second floor, increasing space for new computers.
  ...
  Unfortunately, in announcing these changes, Carney acknowledges that a new downtown library is not likely for the next few years.
