Fire Museum Library Passes now available

The North Charleston and American LaFrance Fire Museum and Educational Center has begun a “Museum Library Pass” program to be a cooperative partnership between public libraries and the fire museum.The goal of the partnership is to offer complimentary museum access to anyone with a library card. Each Berkeley County Library branch will receive at least two plastic credit card-style passes to the museum. The passes can be checked out for a one-week period. The pass will grant admission to the fire museum for two adults and accompanying children.The program is intended to foster a partnership between museums and libraries in the Lowcountry and follow the museum’s mission, which is to educate North Charleston and surrounding communities on the importance of fire and life safety through the history and evolution of the fire service. This is a joint effort offered through libraries serving residents in Charleton, Berkeley and Dorchester counties.

The Fire Museum is located at 4975 Center Pointe Drive in North Charleston. For more information on the Fire Museum, visit their website at http://www.legacyofheroes.org/.

Celebrity Read-A-Thon July 18th

The Berkeley County Library System is participating in a Celebrity Read-a-Thon on Saturday, July 18, from 1:00 to 4:00 pm.

Read-a-Thon events are taking place at Daniel Island, Moncks Corner, Goose Creek and Sangaree Libraries.

In the Lowcountry, one in seven adults is functionally illiterate. This means they read below an eighth grade level and have difficulty completing a job application, reading and following instructions, reading the newspaper or a magazine.

These special programs are being presented in conjunction with Trident Literacy to demonstrate how important it is that one knows how to read. Won't you join us to share with the community the importance of being literate and knowing how to read?

May is "Get Caught Reading" Month

Last evening I caught two people reading at the Goose Creek branch of the library!

Steven Campbell was caught reading at an Edward Jones Budgeting seminar held at the library. Jerry Moneer did a fantastic job.

Penny Jane Phillips was checking out the episodes on Season 2 of House, M.D. and a Janet Evanovich (further along the table). Is that a Vitamin Water I see on the table? Hmmm...I guess reading made her thirsty:) She got to slide last night, but there really is a no food and drink policy:)

Get Caught Reading at Your Public Library in May! There may be prizes involved! Check back to see who else has been "caught reading!"
