2019 Read-In Cancelled Due to Inclement Weather

Due to the forecast of inclement weather tomorrow, the 2019 Read-In at the South Carolina State House has been cancelled. There is a 77%-88% chance of rain between 8:00 a.m. and noon on Tuesday April 2. Since this is an outdoor event, an alternate indoor location is not planned. The South Carolina State Library is working on rescheduling this event for a future date.
