Libraries
The Dillon County Library Board of Trustees announce the closing of our libraries (Dillon, Latta, Lake View and Bookmobile) to the public, effective March 18, 2020. The libraries will remain closed until March 30, 2020 or until which time the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, or some other health authorities, deem it is once again safe for people to gather.
The library staff will report to work each day. This closing time will be used to give our facilities a good and much needed cleaning and take a much needed inventory of the library’s collections. We do apologize for any inconvenience closing may cause. However, we will work to diminish interruption by trying to provide some services such as answering phone-in requests, remote printing, curb-side book returns and check outs, plus any other service we can provide without opening to the public.
As you know public libraries around the state have closed their doors to the public in an effort to reduce opportunities for people to come in close contact with one another. Until this crisis is over, we trust that you will help us serve you remotely.

Sheriff’s Office
The Dillon County Sheriff’s Office will continue to serve and protect the citizens of Dillon County during the Covid-19 pandemic, however the sheriff’s office is currently under a modified operation, according to Captain Cliff Arnette of the Dillon County Sheriff’s Office. The Dillon County Sheriff’s Office will continue to answer emergency calls, however, non-essential and non-emergency calls will be handled by telephone when possible to prevent as much social contact so that we can keep our officers safe and healthy. If an officers responds to your residence or business the officer may request you to meet outside for non-emergency calls. The officer may have protective equipment on if a person has signs and symptoms of the coronavirus.
