Yearlong Celebration of Great Reading Begins February 27
During the next 12 months, the Aiken County Public Library will host four scholar-led book discussions and a children’s event, all based on award-winning and popular books.  Multiple copies of each of the featured titles will be available at least six weeks prior to the programs.

The first book selected for discussion is The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society written by Mary Ann Shaffer.  This celebrated book has been described “as a celebration of the written word in all its guises.” Copies of the book are now available at the library's reference desk.
