October is always one of the busiest months of the year in the BDC. We celebrate Archives Month, Archaeology Month, Family History Month, Gullah Geechee Heritage Month and half of Hispanic Heritage Month in the tenth month of the Gregorian calendar. Expect to see social media posts about each of these topics.
We have a lot of "stuff" to do: a mandatory County training; 2 community outreach efforts; 4 local history programs; and the semi-annual Library Staff Training Day on October 14th. In addition to our regular duties and working with Research Room customers, we're still trying to find the right person to join the BDC team by reviewing applications and setting up interviews.
Programs on our schedule:
October 5 - "What the HECK Is It?: Artifact identification" at Hilton Head Branch Library with the Hilton Head Chapter, Archaeological Society of South Carolina
October 10 - Past & Present: BCL's Digital Collections - Our first program at the new Port Royal Branch Library
October 15 - "History of the BJWSA" session #1 with Tricia Kilgore; BHM/BCL Local History series Season 8.1A at St. Helena Branch Library
October 22 - "History of the BJWSA" session #2 with Tricia Kilgore; BHM/BCL Local History series Season 8.1B at Bluffton Branch Library
As of this writing, Research Room closures related to these efforts will occur on Thursday, October 3rd, Monday, October 14th, Tuesday, October 15th and Tuesday, October 22nd. But other unexpected closures can occur due to inclement weather (we're still in Hurricane Season) and staff shortage.
