Fall fun @ the library

It was a great autumn full of storytime fun!

You can still join us for one more fall program:  Thanksgiving Storytime at the Abbeville Library will be Tuesday, November 26 at 4:00 pm.  Don't miss it!

We're offering a new series of programs for homeschoolers!  Join us at the Abbeville Library every third Friday at 11 am.

The programs are geared to children 3rd through 6th grade, but younger and older siblings are welcome.


September 20:  Getting to know your library

October 18: Why do leaves change color?

November 15: Native Americans

It's almost time for school to start! You're stocking up on glue, scissors, paper, and folders for the new year.  Be sure that you get your kids the most important school supply of all -- a library card!

Cards are free for anyone who lives, works, or goes to school in Abbeville County, and children under 18 need to have a parent sign for them.  Stop in today, and start the school year off right!

Summer Reading is in full swing!

Summer Reading is in full swing at the libraries!  Whether you're a child, a teen, or an adult, we've got something special going on for you. 

Upcoming events for kids include Amelia Bedelia Day, Digging for Dinosaurs storytime, and two nights of Lego fun

Upcoming events for teens include a Hobbit Party and a Game Night

Upcoming events for adults include a Gardening Workshop and a Steampunk Workshop

Kids and teens can track their reading and activities throughout the summer and earn prizes along the way.  Adults who get caught reading out in public or at the library may get a fun surprise!

So, however old you are, be sure to keep the library in mind all summer long.  Join the fun!
