In
Memoriam You
may never have met Hillary
Barnwell. But you can see her 26 years of hard work
in every brick of our five library branches. The library’s
fine resources reflect our Assistant Director’s love for
learning and for all the people who came to read – and
be read to. Hers was A Wonderful Life, cut short on November
14. As in the movie, it is hard to imagine what our community
would be, but for Hillary. |
FOR BOOK LOVERS
BOOKS SANDWICHED IN will kickoff its 2008 season on Monday,
January 7th. Once again, we have an exceptional lineup of speakers
who will review a book of their choice. This Friends of the Library
program aims to educate, enlighten, and entertain. This will be our
22nd year of offering book reviews every Monday in January and February.
Our BIG news this year is that we will be in a new location – Sea Island Presbyterian Church located at 81 Lady’s Island Drive on Lady’s Island. We are also changing the time. The program will be from 1pm to 2pm and everyone is encouraged to come early to enjoy complimentary refreshments (sandwiches, cookies, coffee, and tea) with other enthusiasts. There is no charge for the program but donations are gratefully accepted. Click here for our exciting line-up of presenters and books.

Our most exciting news since the September newsletter is that we set an all-time sales record at our Fall Book Sale. We cannot thank the community enough for your generous support in shopping at the book sale as well as donating the books all year long. Books Sandwiched In will kick off on January 7th at 1pm at the Sea Island Presbyterian Church. We hope to see all our loyal attendees back even though we have moved to a different location and time. When you arrive, be sure to renew your membership for the Friends organization if you have not already done so. On a somber note, we
say farewell to our good friend and library liaison, Hillary
Barnwell, who succumbed after a long and courageous fight
against cancer. We will never forget her upbeat spirit, devotion
to the library, or performance as Darth Vader in the Library skit
for one of the Volunteer Appreciation evenings. She was a FORCE! |
