Library wins $2,000 LSTA summer reading grant for Lake Murray program
Summary
Lexington County Library Services was awarded a $2,000 LSTA summer reading grant to support a $3,100 program focused on Lake Murray history; staff will contribute $1,100 in in‑kind salary, and the committee approved acceptance of the award.
Kelly Poole, Lexington County Library Services Director, told the committee the library received a $2,000 LSTA summer reading award to fund a Lake Murray‑themed youth program called 'Unearth a Story.'
"This year's Summer Reading Grant Award, I'm really, really excited about it," Poole said, describing partnerships with the local museum, a diver, and Lake Murray Country that will allow teenagers to record and archive local memories. Poole said the total program cost is $3,100; the grant covers $2,000 with $1,100 contributed as in‑kind staff salary, meaning no direct county expenditure is required.
Council members suggested additional program topics, and a motion to accept the grant and proceed with the program was approved by the committee.
