Check out this wonderful promotional video about libraries. It's so nice to see South Carolina featured in such a positive light. Georgetown County Public Library is leading the way in the state as having a gaming branch with many programs that involve both reading and gaming. Look for more great things to come out of Georgetown, South Carolina. Congratulations Dwight and Marilyn!!! You are SC's gaming in libraries ambassadors :-)

Today I attended the Pamplico Public Library ribbon cutting ceremony and dedication. The library is brand new and beautiful! There are plenty of workstations, a nice meeting room with lcd projector and screen, and nice seating areas. The children's PC is great too! Check out all the photos - click on the photo to see more. (BTW, Pamplico is a town with about 1,000 population and the library is HUGE!!!) how great for a small SC town!
