The South Carolina State Library honors veterans with handmade Quilts of Valor. In partnership with the South Carolina chapter of the Quilts of Valor Foundation, the library will host a rotating exhibit of the quilts created by hundreds of volunteers. Veterans receive these awards in recognition of their service, sacrifice, and valor.
Quilts are on display from November 1, 2018 to January 9, 2019. Quilters will assemble quilts in the Sew Day Workshop on November 7 from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Veterans receive their personalized quilts as part of
six ceremonies
scheduled throughout the exhibit.

No Ordinary Soldier: My Father's Two Wars
by Liz Gilmore Williams. In this true story, a young man from a gritty Pennsylvania mill town enlists in the Army Air Corps and heads for Hawaii. Amid air raids, stifling heat, and outbreaks of tropical disease, he clings to sanity through the letters he and his wife share. Years later his daughter finds these letters saved in an attic. The discovery leads her to a shocking family secret and reveals a story of war, love, and forgiveness. Speaker @ the Center is FREE and open to the public. Register to reserve your seat.
