Two photos taken in the Abbeville County Library System earned awards in the third annual National Library Week “Day in the Life of South Carolina Libraries” photo contest sponsored by the South Carolina State Library.
“Throughout National Library Week, librarians from across the state photograph the work that is done to help patrons,” Abbeville director Mary Elizabeth Land said. “The Abbeville County Library System placed second statewide in the Librarians Helping Patrons category and earned an honorable mention in the Most Humorous category.”
The Librarians Helping Patrons photo featured Rita Brownett helping Ashley Weyer at the Donalds Library, and the humorous honorable mention photo showed Land reading to a guinea pig with the subhead “Story time isn’t just for people.”
Contest categories also included Best Overall and Librarians as Technology Gurus. From statewide submissions, two winners were selected in each category as well as six total honorable mentions, according to a news release from the State Library. Judging criteria was based on composition, quality, subject, lighting, creativity and the ability to capture the spirit of South Carolina libraries."
