South Carolina ranks #39 in literacy, and CFOL believes that every community member should have affordable access to books to help improve their literacy goals. Shopping at a CFOL book sale helps support important FREE programming that CCPL provides to the community such as Summer Reading, Storytimes, outreach events/performers, and more,” said Nulani Bennett, CFOL Operations Manager. “We can’t wait to help you celebrate National Reading Month and showcase the newly renovated Dorchester Road Library!”
