  Porch Stroll Benefit
     We're pleased to announce that the Summerville Bed and Breakfast Association has chosen the Timrod Library as the beneficiary of their inaugural Porch Stroll from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on June 12.
     Attendees at this event, in honor of National Iced Tea Day, will sip iced tea on some of Summerville’s most beautiful southern porches. The eight locations on the stroll itinerary will include several bed and breakfast inns and historic locations, including the Timrod Library.
    At each porch location, hosts will offer delectable treats and experiences including historic gardens, farm animals, live music, and artwork by local artists. In addition, several merchants in downtown Summerville will offer discounts to Porch Stroll attendees. 
   Tickets are $30 per person and will be available on the Timrod Library website. Proceeds benefit the Library. Space for this special event is limited. Please click here to visit our Porch Stroll page on the Timrod website for more information.
       This event will take place rain or shine.

Generous Support for Imagination Library
    The Timrod Library is an affiliate of the Dolly Parton Imagination Library, a literacy program that provides books for children up to five years. As an affiliate, the Timrod Library identifies children and raises funds to send books in the 29483 ZIP code.
      Timrod Board member Marcia Jonczak, who heads up this effort for our Library, reports on recent donations:
  • Rotary Club of Summerville approved a grant of $1,250.
  • The Joanna Foundation of Sullivan's Island has approved a grant of $2,500.
  • The Dorchester County Library has pledged to sponsor 25 children for five years.
     “Individual donations amount to $6,460, bringing us halfway to our fundraising goal,” Marcia says. “When we reach the goal, we can begin signing up children for the program.”
       These donors are helping the Timrod Library to launch the Imagination Library to enhance literacy and provide access to books for thousands of children in Summerville and Dorchester County. Thank you!
       Visit the DPIL page on the Timrod website for more about this program.
