October is Archives Month - the theme closest to my heart.
It's also Archaeology Month - and I have the "What the Heck Is It?: Artifact Identification" program related to that topic on October 7th.
It's Family History Month - which constitutes a fair portion of BDC time, customer base and content of this blog; and October is now also Gullah Geechee Cultural Heritage Awareness Month.
The first two weeks are the second part of Hispanic Heritage Month - and the BDC has a 2nd session of "Beaufort Before Britain" on October 5th to acknowledge that fact.
Then the first seven days of October also happen to be National Newspaper Week. You can read about the BDC's newspaper resources in this 2019 Connections post.
The Library system has decided to "Celebrate the Freedom to Read" this year. In other words, there's a lot to acknowledge in the year's 10th month. Geez!
Registration opens for the "Plantation Profiles" session with Kayleigh Vaughn on October 3rd for the October 17th lecture; the reprise at Bluffton Branch on October 19th will be first come, first seated. Registration for "Kilted Warriors" opens October 20th. Be sure to consult the Library system calendar for details regarding each local history program.
Jalen is in the beginning stages of learning the ropes of working inside a special collections and archives unit and how to help our wonderful customers.
The Library is closed on Monday, October 9th for Staff Training.
Limited access to the Research Room continues. Be sure to contact BDC staff ahead of your proposed visit.
