Travel with the Library

            It is time to travel and the Calhoun County Library is here to help!

Did you know that the Calhoun County Library has free State Park Passes available to check out? These passes allow you to visit special places in South Carolina for free admission. This includes plantations, lighthouses, and even a castle! Come check out this pass, which also includes some books and facts about South Carolina. If you are planning on taking a trip, come check out a State Park Pass for free to save some money and see more places!

In addition to checking out a State Park pass, you can also check out binoculars and a telescope for free at the Calhoun County Library. Enjoy the outdoors this summer with bird watching, hiking, or walking on the beach with binoculars for great distance viewing. Attend a Fireflies or Riverdogs game and get a close-up of the infield with a great pair of binoculars! At night, check out the stars and try to locate the planets with the telescope. We hope to see you soon!

If you don’t want to go outside and look at nature, come visit the Calhoun County Library and pick up a Summer Reading Road Trip map. This is available for kids in 1^st through 6^th grade. Some ‘stops’ (tasks) on the map include reading a book to a pet, reading in bed, and checking out a book from the Calhoun County Library. As you complete these stops, color in each road sign. The tasks do not have to be done in order. When the road trip is complete, with all ‘stops’ done and colored in, bring your map to the Calhoun County Library and receive a prize! Make sure to log your reading minutes on Beanstack as well to earn those prizes too!
