| HIST | If you can read anything you want to, thank a librarian If you can read anything you want to, thank a librarian Every time I pass the Sumter Genealogical Society building on West Liberty Street, I remember the days I spent there when it was still the Carnegie Public Library. I was already in the first grade the first time I went there. Harold Brody, to whom I am forever grateful, introduced me to Mrs. Ivey, the children's librarian, and many days I found myself in the basement, home to the children's department. During the first few visits, I read books that explained why the sky is blue, where rain comes from, what makes the stars twinkle and the sun hot. Later I moved upstairs to the grown-ups' section and devoured biographies, novels, books by James Thurber and Max Shulman and more. I wanted to know everything. And the library, more than any other place, was -- and still is -- the place to find it. The library still feeds my reading addiction, which I think is the best habit one can have. Today is Public Library Appreciation Day, a time to let our local library branches and librarians know how much they mean to us. While Sumter County Library Director Robert Harden and other library personnel are in Columbia today meeting with the Sumter County Legislation Delegation, we can visit their Web site at www.midnet.sc.edu/sumtercls and leave a message telling them how much we love our library. All the books a person could want, scores of magazines, audio books, movies and other DVDs, computer access, special classes and programs to help us navigate the world and so much more -- all at no cost to us. Who could ask for anything more? Sumter is lucky to have three library branches -- the main library on Harvin Street, the South Sumter Library Branch in the South Sumter Resource Center on Manning Avenue and the Wesmark Branch on Wesmark Boulevard, across from Miss Libby's School of Dance. If you haven't got a library card, stop by any of the branches, and the friendly librarians will be happy to help you. Call (803) 773-7273 for more information. There is only one week left to see the S.C. Watercolor Society and Sumter Artists Guild Competition exhibitions at the Sumter County Gallery of Art. There is some special work there on both sides. Sumter's Rose Metz is one of the winners in both exhibitions! Check out the talent we've got right here in Sumter and S.C. The gallery is located at 200 Hasel St. in the Sumter County Cultural Center, which also houses Patriot Hall and the Sumter Little Theatre. Call the gallery at (803) 775-0543. If you've never seen the Morris College Greek Step Show, Saturday is your big chance. Just watching these steppers move will get your blood flowing. They'll be competing at 8 p.m. at the Sumter County Exhibition Center, 700 W. Liberty St., on Saturday. Tickets are $15 at the door. For more information call (803) 436-2270. Foodies and oenophiles alike will enjoy An Evening with Loosh on Sunday. And if you're both, you're really in luck. Chef Crawford Pressley will present a meal of five courses, each matched with the perfect, complementary wine. Pressley studied at Le Cordon Bleu in London and has been cooking gourmet meals in Columbia for several years. Tickets for this event are always in demand, as the evening is always one to remember. An Evening with Loosh starts at 6 p.m. with a champagne reception, then proceeds to a dinner you can't get anywhere else. It's set at Sunset Country Club, located at 1005 Golfcrest Road. Attendance is limited to 66, and tickets are $150 each, with proceeds benefiting Sumter's needy elderly citizens. Call Sumter Senior Services at (803) 773-5508 for more information or reservations.
