Help your child get ready to succeed in school! Our Summer Bootcamp is back. This program runs 6 weeks in person at all three Barnwell County library locations.

This program is designed for children that will be entering 3K, 4K, and 5K in the new school year.

If you are unable to attend the in-person sessions at the library and would like to participate at home or via your child care program, please text BOOTCAMP to 803-963-2667.

Weekly packets will be left at each library at the end of that week's session. Packets will also be posted here on our page each Tuesday morning beginning June 10.
