The library staff endeavors to assist all patrons in using the collection effectively.

Celebrating Rupert J. Smith's 100th Birthday!

In honor of Rupert J. Smith's birthday, the St. Lucie County Bar Association members will have their monthly meeting at the law library on February 2nd. This meeting will include a one-hour CLE presentation on using the resources at the RJS library.
