Christmas Holidays

The Abbeville County Library System will be closed from Saturday, December 22nd through Wednesday, December 26th so that we can celebrate with our families.

Please come see us this week (Monday through Friday, December 17-21), and stock up on great holiday novels, picture books, movies, and music.

We'll re-open after the holidays on Thursday, December 27th for our regular hours.  A Merry, Merry Christmas to all, and to all, lots of great reading!

Cookies, cookies, cookies!

The annual library/4H cookie contest was great fun!  Really, when you combine Christmas and cookies (two of my very favorite things), how can it not be a success?

Thanksgiving Week

Happy Thanksgiving!  Please join us for a Thanksgiving-themed storytime this week
in Donalds on Monday at 4 pm
in Abbeville on Tuesday at 4 pm
or
in Calhoun Falls on Wednesday at 4 pm

The library system will be closed from Thursday through Sunday so that we can celebrate with our families.  Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!  We're thankful for lives surrounded by great books and the great folks who check them out!

Sleepytime Storytime

Sleepytime storytime was a big hit last night at the Donalds Library. Kids (oh, and their parents, too) braved the pouring rain to come out in their pj's and hear some great stories.

Sorry you missed it?  There's still time to join us! 

We're hosting Sleepytime Storytime again tonight at the Calhoun Falls Library at 7 pm and Thursday at the Abbeville Library at 7 pm.

Put on your pj's, grab your teddy bear, and join the fun!

Get your weekend off to a great start with Becky's Box of Puppets!  Don't miss our first children's event at the new library!

This great program is free and open to the public, so join the fun!

Open for business!

The new Abbeville Library is open for business!  Come see our beautiful new building at 1407 North Main Street.

You'll love it!

Moving!!!

You've been watching as the building progresses in Abbeville, and now, it's time!  We start our move to the new building on Wednesday (Sept. 12) and we'll be moving for two weeks.

The Abbeville Library will be closed from Sept 12 through Sept 30 to allow us to move to our beautiful new location.  We hope to re-open at the new building at 1407 N Main Street on Monday, October 1st.

What can you do to help us move?  We thought you'd never ask :-)

This week ( from now through Tuesday, Sept 11), come by the Abbeville Library and check out a STACK of books, movies, music, and magazines (toys and puppets, too!).  Each card can check out up to 25 items. 

This stack will keep you going through the two weeks that we're closed.  And every book that's out in the community being read is a book we don't have to move on moving day!

So come by, get yourself a fun stack at the old building, and return it to the new!  Nothing will be due until Oct. 15, so you'll have plenty of time to return it to our new location after we open.

And remember, the Donalds and Calhoun Falls libraries will be open for most of the time that the Abbeville Library will be closed.  You can visit either (or both!) of those locations to check out materials and use the computers while Abbeville is closed.

Thanks for all your support!  Can't wait to see you at the NEW Abbeville Library :-)
