TRAVELERS REST, S.C. – The pastor of a Baptist church in Anderson is the new manager of the Travelers Rest Library.

Ray Arnett will replace Nathan Schmaltz, who in June defied orders from Greenville County library administrators to remove a Pride Month display at the location, according to a detailed report by Connor Hughes in The Charleston Post & Courier.

Brian Morrison, the Greenville County Library Systems access and discovery director, wrote that Arnett, who serves as the senior pastor of Fellowship Baptist Church of Anderson, would be starting as branch manager during the first week of November, according to a Sept. 14 email to library staff members obtained by the Post & Courier,
