Holidays at the Library

            The holiday season is upon us and the Calhoun County Library is ready to celebrate with you. The Friends of the Calhoun County Library are hosting another special book sale this week that you do not want to miss and the following week is the Calhoun County Library’s annual Christmas event: Cookies with Santa and Porkchop Productions!

The holidays are right around the corner and buying gifts can be a difficult task. Do you know what makes great presents? Books! The Friends of the Calhoun County Library have tons of books that they want you to put on your shelves or give to a loved one. There are books for everyone! The library has made room on its shelves for new books, so there are tons of books to choose from at the Friends Book Sale. They have all genres, sizes, and even large print, too! The best part is the price! You might even find the hard-to-find book you have been looking for. There may even be some DVDs for sale. You have to come check it out to find out!

The Friends Winter Book Sale will be on:

Thursday, December 12, 2024, from 4 PM - 7:30 PM

Friday, December 13, 2024, from 10 AM - 4:30 PM

Saturday, December 14, 2024, from 10 AM - 2:30 PM

On Saturday, from 12 PM - 2 PM, you can fill a bag for only $5. Come find out how many books you can fit in the bag and get a great price for some excellent reads. And we’re adding a little EXTRA SPECIAL SURPRISE in the month of December! In order to show our support for our local schools: if you are a TEACHER, all books are only 10 cents! This includes the Friends regular book sale on Tuesdays from 2 PM - 5 PM and the above dates for the Friends Winter Book Sale.

If you are looking to volunteer somewhere for the holidays, we would love to have you help with this sale! As a thank you for helping, you will get paid in books ($10 of books per hour worked). If you are interested in this opportunity, please call the library at 803-874-3390 or email FOCCL17@gmail.com.

These sales and your help support the Calhoun County Library. We appreciate all your support and hope to see you all find some great reads during the sale! Don’t forget - the library will be open for you to check out books, use the computers, and get help during the sale.

That’s not the end of the Christmas celebrations at the Calhoun County Library! Join us on Tuesday, December 17, 2024, for Cookies with Santa at the library from 3:30 PM - 6:30 PM. There will be plenty of delicious cookies and warm hot chocolate to go around for all ages.

We will also have two very special guests to make this event perfect. Come take pictures with Santa! He will be here to bounce you on his knee, listen to what you want for Christmas (even though he already knows), and get a smiling picture to share with all your friends and family. The second special guest is a Calhoun County favorite: Porkchop Productions! They will be here to perform a holiday play for everyone at 5 PM so you do not want to be late! You do not need to reserve a spot for this play, but you might want to get here early to have the best seats in the house.

We look forward to seeing everyone at Cookies with Santa. Make sure to wear your Christmas apparel for your pictures, get a great snack, and see an entertaining performance by a wonderful group of people!

This is the time of the year that is full of cheer, thanks, and happiness. The Calhoun County Library appreciates all community members who spend their time at the library and want to celebrate the holidays with us!
