Grant money at work -- and play!

You may remember one of the very first blogs on this site -- the one that shared the good news of LSTA grant money we had recently received. Well, take a look at some of those funds in action:





This is the Abbeville County First Steps Learning Bus at the Calhoun Falls library earlier today. Our "Step to the Library" Grant, which fosters collaboration between the library system and First Steps, brought the bus and Mopsie the clown to the Calhoun Falls library. We hosted a special pre-school storytime highlighting the bus, which is a mobile, educational tool which helps teach kids the skills they'll need to be ready for kindergarten.

Everyone had fun -- even the adults (but luckily, there are no photos of me playing hopscotch in my high heels!) Special thanks to the Library Service and Technology Act for funding this special day!
