On Thursday, the Charleston County Council unanimously voted to rename the St. Andrews Regional Library the Cynthia Hurd St. Andrews Regional Library, The Post & Courier reports.
Hurd worked in the city’s library system from 1990 to 2011, before being given the managerial title at the St. Andrews Regional Library.
Her husband Arthur called the commemorative title fitting for the woman who dedicated her life to books and helping others.

Cynthia Hurd was the longest-serving part-time librarian in the county.
