The Smokey Bear doll featured in this photo is part of our collection; libraries used it for the Summer Reading Club in the 1950s. The Ad Council and Forest Service commissioned artist Albert Staehle to create the fictional character to help prevent forest fires.
As the June featured state document, we wasted no time choosing the Composting Guide from Beaufort County and DHEC's Office of Solid Waste Reduction and Recycling. The natural color scheme and verbiage inspire even the novice gardener to dig into composting.
Two new magazines featuring southern culture and the Palmetto State are available for patrons of Talking Book Services. Columbia Metropolitan Magazine and The Southern Edge are now part of our collection. We hope to enable all South Carolina residents to experience stories of southern culture and events.
Many South Carolina State Library programs, resources, and services are supported in whole or in part by a grant from the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services.
