Start Reading This Summer

            Two summer reading programs are now in full swing at the Calhoun County Library, and we’re ready for everyone to make a splash! We know our patrons are avid readers, so we have added a second summer reading program for some extra competition: Oceans of Possibilities and Adventures to BOOKland. They have both started, and we are ready for patrons to join in on the fun!

            To register and start logging your time, visit the Calhoun County Library website to get the account link, or you can download the Beanstack app on your phone. Once you have an account, it’s time to read! When you reach the pre-set reading goals, come to the library to get a weekly prize and craft to take home. The drawing for the grand prizes of bikes and Kindles will be at the finale.

            Each week, we will have a fun in-person program that starts at 10:30 AM on Thursdays with a provided snack.

June 9, 2022 is our Summer Reading Program Kickoff Party full of water games, crafts, frozen treats, and even a firetruck. Wear your swimsuit and prepare to get wet!

June 16, 2022 features the South Carolina Aquarium who will be teaching about ocean habitats with fun activities and live animals.

June 23, 2022 is a very funny skit by Porkchop Productions. Everyone is sure to laugh!

June 30, 2022 is a show by Grey Seal Puppets about a kid saving the day against pirates using only a bathtub toy as their ship.

There will not be a program on July 7, 2022!

July 14, 2022 we welcome magician Mr. Tim and his sidekick Larry the Duck as they catch waves and perform magic right in front of your eyes.

July 21, 2022 is a creepy, crawly favorite. Join us for two shows with the Critter Keeper! The first is at 10:30 AM, and the second is 1:30 PM.

July 28, 2022 is our Summer Reading Program finale! It is going to be packed full of games, treats, awards, prizes, and will even have a special reading with Cocky. Come celebrate all the reading you accomplished!

            Come have loads of fun at the Calhoun County Library and enjoy a summer of reading and learning.

            This project is made possible by a Library Services and Technology Act grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services administered by the South Carolina State Library. Thank you to the Dollar General Literacy Foundation; funding received will support our summer reading program! Special thanks for support from Save the Children!
