Johns Island Library Renovations
The Johns Island Library has recently reopened after having been closed for renovations amid closures for Covid!! I went up there one day last week, and Lisa Williams, Circulation Manager, gave me a tour. Linda Stewart is the Branch Manager.
The entire place has a new look–bright, modern, shiny and welcoming.
Every good library has a special children’s section, and this one is HUGE.
In addition to the children’s room, there is a room for teens. Many students from Haut Gap MS and St. Johns HS visit the library after school where they have access to the Internet via a bank of computers.
A new multi-purpose room will be used to hold classes for the community.
While there, I met Michel Hammes, the librarian who heads up the Library Book Club. Hammes is also a lover of nature and was instrumental in beginning a native plant garden outside the Children's Room. The bench on the right was a gift from the Kiawah Cares Foundation.
Make it a point to visit the Johns Island Library and tell your friends about it. Same place, same facade, but
brand new inside!!
Thank your for sharing this. I love local libraries so plan to check it out soon. How wonderful for Johns Island.
Yes, Cindy. I’m glad you commented.
