The Summer Reading Program at Colleton County Memorial Library is going to begin in mid-June.
Traditionally, this communitywide reading programs starts earlier in the year; however, this year, the program will start a little later due to the public-school schedule.
According to Colleton County Memorial Library’s Children’s Coordinator, Miss Shiela Keaise, the lineup for activities includes a new YouTube video for promoting the children’s summer reading program. There will also be in-person events, held on the library’s lawn.
