What to Expect in February 2024

February Overview: We show some love for Black History Month. I will highlight some of the many resources we have here in the Research Room.

Officially the BDC has only one program this month - and it's today at Hilton Head Branch Library. We hope that you can make it for Neil Baxley's presentation about the "Battle of Beaufort, 1779." (Brought to you by the BDC, BCHS, and the Beaufort County 250th Committee). [Update 2 February 2024 - We had 47 people attend Baxley's excellent discussion about the first land-based Patriot win in South Carolina's American Revolution. Hip! Hip! Hooray!!]

I am doing two community outreach activities in this shortest month of the year:

On February 5th I will review "Jim Crow Hurricane" as part of the Books Sandwiched In series and on the last day of the month I'll be over on Hilton Head Island to present "Tide of Death" as an OLLI program.

In between Cassi, Jalen and I will keep on keeping on taking care of collections and customers the other 20 working days in February.

Please note: The Library will be closed on Monday, February 19th for Presidents Day.

Stay tuned for a somewhat big announcement re: BDC services later in the month.
