StoryFestSC: June 2, 2012

For one evening only, June 7, 2012, from 5:30 -8, the Laurens County Library will host the Chamber of Commerce’s first ever Laurens County Tourism Fair.

There will be six stations, or booths, representing each of the six areas of tourism Laurens Chamber recognizes: Lodging, Dining, Shopping, Recreation, History, and Arts.

The Richland County Public Library is launching a new service – the 3M Cloud Library – that allows library customers to access 4,000 ebooks on multiple devices, including PCs, iPads, Nooks and Android operating systems. RCPL is one of 10 beta or test sites across the country for this new service.

The South Carolina State Library’s Center for the Book has selected Virals, by Kathy Reichs, to represent South Carolina at the 2012 National Book Festival in Washington, DC.  The book is the state’s selection for the National Book Festival’s “Discover Great Places Through Reading Map”.  Each state selects one title of fiction or non-fiction, a book about the state or by an author from the state that is a good read for children or young adults.  The map is distributed at the Pavilion of the States at the Festival and lists “Great Reads About Great Places”.
