Celebrate National Library Week April 10-16

Libraries are places for new beginnings. Whether you are getting your first library card, learning new computer skills, beginning a job search, or planning a trip, the library is the place where your story begins. This National Library Week, join our nation's libraries and librarians and Create your own story @ your library.

"Every day, libraries across the state are helping South Carolinians create their own unique stories," says Dr. Curtis R. Rogers, State Library Communications Director. "Whether it is by opening a book and exploring distant lands, or by learning how to use new technologies and web sites like www.WorkSC.org to find a job, people using a library are creating new stories for themselves."

First sponsored in 1958, National Library Week is a national observance sponsored by the American Library Association (ALA) and libraries across the country each April.

Visit the South Carolina State Library at 1430 & 1500 Senate Street in Columbia or visit your local library during National Library Week (April 10-16) and see what your library has to offer.
