What’s Happening This Weekend?

            The Calhoun County Library has a busy weekend ahead with two huge community events that are taking place in Saint Matthews. We’re getting ready for Community Day and our Community Baby Shower.

            Due to weather conditions on Saturday, September 10, 2022, Calhoun County’s Community Day had to be rescheduled, but we’ve planned a new date and location! The new date is this Saturday, September 24, 2022, from 10 AM - 3 PM and it will now be held on the corner of Richland Avenue and Bridge Street. During Community Day, the Calhoun County Library will be celebrating the new bookmobile with a ribbon cutting ceremony at 12 PM. We will also be giving away free books as well as allowing the community to check out books,  sign up for a library card, and register for Code Red, a community-wide alert system. You can grab a hot dog or hamburger while you’re there and get your groove on to the beats of the DJ! Come out and join us for all the fun!

            We would like to thank our generous donors for their support. The bookmobile is made possible with help from Calhoun County, the Dee and Joy Buyck Carpenter Trust, and by a Library Services and Technology Act grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services administered by the South Carolina State Library.

            Following Community Day is our Community Baby Shower on Sunday, September 25, from 3 PM - 5 PM. This event will take place at the John Ford Community Center located at 304 Agnes Street in St. Matthews. The 3 requirements for this event are: 1.to be a Calhoun County resident  2.to be expecting/adopting or have a baby under one year old   3.to register for the event by calling 803-874-3389 or by visiting the library.

            We hope that you can join us for the second Community Baby Shower! You’ll be showered with great gifts for your child and be filled with new information and ideas! Call the library at 803-874-3389 to sign up today. It’s not too late!
