As a partnership with The Period Project, the Spartanburg Libraries acts as both a collection and distribution site. All SCPL locations accept donations of tampons, individually wrapped pads, and personal cleansing wipes. Donations are used to supply the Libraries’ women’s restrooms and services of The Period Project. To learn more about The Period Project and their mission, visit their website.
