The Shark Tells
Week of December 13, 2021
Reader's Reef
I plan to spend time with my family, work on my home "to do" list, and read. Like you, I will have multiple teenagers at home with no structured plans for two solid weeks. While I know my sons will spend time on their computer games, I also expect they will be reading. All they have to do is let me know and I will gladly take them to the public library.
The Socastee and Surfside branches of the Horry County Memorial Library (HCML) system have events planned for school-aged students, children, and adults. If you or your student already has a library card, they can stream or download materials without leaving the house. Readers can catch up on books they've missed or get a peek at books that will be arriving at HCML soon.
While there are many benefits of reading, some students just aren't into it. If this describes your student, they can still use the resources of HCML. They can learn to code for free through SC Codes. With their library card, they can take a Universal Class that will teach them the basics of pet care, how to draw, or the basics of Spanish cooking.
Whatever you and your family do over break, I hope you have a wonderful time and create beautiful memories.
