It is common for grandparents to raise their grandchildren in South Carolina. Although circumstances may vary, grandparents often share similar challenges and unique strengths. We aim to build a network for these caregivers while providing support and resources and invite library staff to join us for a webinar devoted to kinship care on November 1 and 2. Register for this two-part training to learn why kinship care is so common and how libraries can be a resource and support to families in this unique situation. Please visit our Grandfamilies Resource Center libguide for supplemental information.
