Annual Contest is back...............

We are having our annual “Guess the Candy in the Jar” contest. Children under the age of 13 who check out three books become eligible to guess how many candy corns are in the jar. This is a very popular little contest we have and everyone loves it.

A note from a Friend.......

This is part of a letter we received from Ravi Kaluri. Ravi is our great pal and he recently returned to India after a year long visit to Bishopville. Lee County Library has gone international!!

...."My friends’ n family members were amazed to know the kind of support n encouragement you rendered through your library services. Me n my family are very fortunate to be patrons of your esteemed library and friends of lovely persons like you both. I really misssssssssss my family n you both a lot. My family would continue to be in touch with you."............

Library thanks the patrons...............

The Lee County Library would like to thank all of our patrons who participated in our “Fines for Food” amnesty program. The library collected almost 200 pounds of non-perishable food items for distribution to the Salkehatchie families. This was a wildly successful program that will become an annual feature. Again, thanks to all our patrons – you all are great!!

Halloween comes to the Library.............

Halloween is Director Dawn Ellen’s favorite holiday. Director Dawn is extremely talented and artistic. Put those two together and what do you get??? Some really great decorating for Halloween at the Library. You HAVE to come in and see our decorations. They are just fantastic. If you haven’t been to the Library in awhile this is a great time to come. We hope to see you – we miss you – come and see us.

Check out our Flikr page for photos of the decorations.

Heads UP - New Programming Alert!!

The Librarians are working on a new program! We are putting together a Fall/Winter Reading Program – similar to the Summer Reading Program. The Fall/Winter program will feature field trips and possibly movie screenings. We are modifying the program so that students can participate without interfering with their schoolwork. We think this could be an exciting addition to our current programs and we hope interested individuals will contact us for more information.
