Hit the Road With Your Local Library

BY SARAH CHILDERS

Summer might be coming to an end, but your public libraries still are enjoying some time in the sun. This month, join the Sequoyah Regional Library System (SRLS) as we hit the road and make the most of the last days of summer.

Feeling artsy? Kick off the month with us at the Reeves House Visual Arts Center Aug. 1 at 1 p.m. for storytime and a craft. Next, stop by R. T. Jones Memorial Library Aug. 7 at 4:30 p.m. for our End-of-Summer Celebration. Then, soak up the sun with us Aug. 8 at 11 a.m. for Storytime at the Park at the Woodstock Arts Event Green.

Need a library card? Join us for a Pop-Up Library and Storytime at 10 a.m. Aug. 1, 11 and 15 at J.B. Owens Park, Aug. 17 at J.J. Biello Park and Aug. 23 at Heritage Park. Sign up for a library card, and browse books for all ages out in the sunshine.

In addition to our outdoor events, we have plenty of all-ages programming you can enjoy away from the summer sun. Visit Ball Ground Public Library Aug. 1 at 5 p.m. for Zodiac Art Prints for Tweens and Teens. Then, relax and play games at Woodstock Public Library Aug. 2 at 2:30 p.m. during Senior Social Hour. Next, learn more about blacksmithing Aug. 21 at 11 a.m. as we welcome the Funk Heritage Center to R.T. Jones Memorial Library. Finally, visit our Rose Creek Public Library Aug. 24 at 11 a.m. to discover how to make your backyard garden a calming, inviting space. For more programs, view our full calendar at www.sequoyahregionallibrary.org.

Next month, join SRLS as we celebrate National Library Card Sign-Up Month. SRLS library cards are free to all residents of Cherokee, Pickens and Gilmer counties. Stop by your local SRLS library to see what you might discover with a library card.

No matter the adventure you choose, SRLS is here to help you on your journey. Whether you’re a longtime cardholder, a new cardholder or you haven’t thought about the library until now, it is our privilege to serve you. We’re proud to be your dynamic destination for discovery!
