The Library system begins its Summer Reading Program "Unearth a Story" which features dinosaurs and archaeology today. The BDC doesn't have much about dinosaurs but we do have a lot of archaeological reports to highlight.
We're taking to the road to promote our "Revealing the Revolution" challenges. You'll see me at Bluffton Branch around 10 AM; Hilton Head Branch around Noon; and Beaufort Branch about 5 PM on June 1. On June 2, Cassi will visit Lobeco Branch about 10 AM and I will be out at St. Helena Branch around 5 PM. Cassi and Sydney will be going with the Bookmobile staff to the "Discover the Lowcountry" event on June 4. I am working a table at USCB's "South Carolina and the Road to Independence : Celebrating 250 Amazing American Years with Words, Music, and Cake" with Leah Roche of the Beaufort County Historical Society on June 6. On June 9, Sydney will drop by the Port Royal Branch -- all of which to help get the word out about our signature project for BCL America250 and the Summer Reading Program 2026.
Tendaji Bailey will bring the Wright-Campbell student cadre from HBCUs to visit the BDC on June 11.
The Library will be closed on June 19 for Juneteenth.
I'll talk about colonial period British resources in the Research Room on the evening of June 22 at Beaufort Branch. And since June is National Caribbean-American Heritage Month, and Barbadians founded Charles Towne and thereby South Carolina in 1670, expect to see some items related to that fact featured on the BDC's Facebook page this month.
The BDC crew will orient new Library employees to the system's special local history collection and archives unit on June 24.
On June 27, we'll be at Bluffton Branch to conduct the trivia contest on their Liberty & Legacy Day - with a rinse and repeat (of sorts) for Beaufort Branch's Liberty & Legacy Day on July 1. (I'll finally get to use the inauthentic colonial outfit I bought for Halloween at work! Yes!!)
