Summer 2006
Monday, July 3rd, 2006Our summer here in Charleston is hot, hazy and humid, but that doesn’t keep BookCrossers back from meeting. Join us on the second Saturday of each month at 2pm (see our local events section for locations, but if I recall rightly, June, July, and August are at Muddy Waters on Maybank.)There’s a Friends of the Library sale on June 17 at the Main branch on Calhoun.
Summerville’s First Thursday reading group moves to the second Thursday in July and August. They’ll be at the Perkins Restaurant- 1700 Old Trolley Rd (843-875-8680) 7-9 pm. There’s always something interesting on the agenda.
OBCZ News: Kudu Coffee opens Kudu Kitu, treasures from Africa, for sale in the building across the courtyard from the coffee shop. Also, Kudu now features a selection of wines, by the glass or bottle. Rutledge Coffee is expanding seating area and opening an outdoor patio. The library area is going but the BookCrossing Zone stays!
More as we know it! If you know of something bookish, drop us a note. And check out our listing of local events, as well.
July 24- Be sure and click on over to our BookCrossing Specials. Just got word that the first 15 folks to enter will also be entered in a drawing for wings for a month. (Thanks again to an anonymous donor!)
And, oh yes, work on the convention is moving ahead full speed. The committee includes brownwhitetan, Kiptrix, Martip and bookczuk. Word on the street is that they’ve got the menu fairly nailed down, are getting the details set with a couple of interesting local authors for speakers and taping the vast resources of the BookCrossing Community for brief talks as well. Also, they’ve been working on sponsorship for the event to help keep costs down. If you have any ideas about any of the above, give us a holler! More info on the convention can be found at the link on the right side bar. (Updates are constant– as we know it, we tell it!)
