We did not realize that sediment could be serene until it was time to select the featured state document for July 2021 and saw the cover of DHEC’s Watershed Plan for Sediment in the South Saluda River.

Today, on what would have been Eric Carle’s 92nd birthday, we are celebrating his books and artwork. This morning we created our own Very Hungry Caterpillar and many of our library’s staff members are holding copies of their favorite Eric Carle books.
Next week we take you on a social media scavenger hunt, leading up to the release of our latest “must-have” library resource. Beginning Monday, follow us on social media as we help you track down the emergency preparedness necessities in your library. Share your discoveries using the hashtag #SCSLSafetyHunt. We can’t wait to see what you find!
