Summer Reading
Summer is almost here, which means it's time for Summer Reading at your public libraries.
Our school has a great location near both the Ballentine Branch (Richland County) and the Irmo Branch (Lexington County). Both branches have programs that students can participate in, and they can visit both locations without needing a library card!
Each branch offers a program where students can earn incentives for reading. They have the freedom to read whatever they choose to earn points. Both libraries also feature programs like crafts, special guests, animals, and more. Additionally, there are programs available for adults as well.
