Whispers in the Stacks
May 2024 Edition
Kathryn Cress
Interim Director
Happy May!
The Chesterfield County Library Bookmobile is officially on the road! The Bookmobile is a Library on Wheels that allows us to engage with patrons beyond our buildings. Last month we enjoyed visiting Palmetto Ridge Assisted Living, Compass Point Preschool, Springhill Assisted Living, Chesterfield Council on Aging, McBee Head Start, McLeod Farms, Patrick, Ruby, and Teals Mill.
This month we will continue to include more locations that currently have limited access to the library. Patrons of all ages can visit the bookmobile to sign up for a library card, check out books, pick up holds from our SCLENDS Consortium, return materials, play a game of Connect Four, or access our free WIFI.
We are excited to share the activities that are happening around the county at our Chesterfield County Library branches this month. Please stop by and participate in one of our activities, browse through our new books, use one of our computers, check out a DVD or visit our new Bookmobile!
We hope to see you soon!
