State Library Announces Selection for 2019 Route 1 Reads

For the fifth consecutive year, the South Carolina State Library will participate in Route 1 Reads, a roadtrip-inspired reading list that explores various genres through the network of state Center for the Book affiliates located along Route 1.

Whether readers are at home or on the road this summer, this list of must-read cookbooks will keep everyone turning pages until Labor Day.
