SUMMARY:South Carolina 250 // A Celebration for the Ages
DESCRIPTION:Two hundred and fifty years in the making — it remains hard to believe that the earliest members of the Library Society were here to witness this grand accomplishment. We are heading into the pinnacle month for SC250 Charleston and the signature events that their team has been hard at work planning for the better part of the last three years. As one of the early partners for SC250 and SC250 Charleston\, we are proud to have been part of a number of key programs over the last twelve months that kicked off with Carolina Day just a year ago. To honor this momentous anniversary\, there will be an assortment of engagements around town\, beginning in June and continuing through the actual anniversary on July 4th.  \nFor more information and event dates\, visit the SC250 website HERE.

SUMMARY:The Biggest Lie
DESCRIPTION:New from Bloomsbury Publishing\, The Biggest Lie presents a newly explored introduction to fascism in America in the 20th century from College of Charleston history professor Joseph P. Kelly in conversation with author and friend of CLS\, Erik Calonius. With a timely perspective on the Civil War-era\, this well-researched and eye-opening work navigates themes of oppression and a narrative history traces the roots of United States fascism not to the twentieth century but back to the first decades of the republic. \nPurchase Tickets HERE!  \nPlease note\, we’ve updated our ticketing system—purchases now go through Neon Events for a smoother registration experience. For any issues\, please call our Front Desk at 843-723-9912. \nIf you are unable to attend the event\, but would like to purchase one or more signed copies\, please visit Buxton Books here. \nAbout the Book \n\n\nWhen American fascists suddenly goose­stepped down Main Street in the 1930s\, fascism was seen by the rest of the country as a terrifying and radical new European import. It was not. It didn’t come from abroad. Nor was it new or radical. The seed of American fascism was planted by elite southern planters who insisted that slavery need not be addressed in the Constitution because it would soon die out on its own. In The Biggest Lie\, Joseph Kelly chronicles fascism’s deep roots in the antebellum South; its codification under Jim Crow; and\, then\, after the Spanish American War\, its ascendency in the form of Anglo-Saxon nationalism\, proposing that the nation belongs to a master-race-the original lie of American fascism. In this dark hour of American history\, Kelly’s gripping story reminds us that the monied elite have always excelled at deploying disinformation to bias and inflame the masses\, and that there have always been courageous patriots helping us to fight our way out of darkness toward the light. \n\n\nAbout Joseph Kelly \nJoseph Kelly is a professor of literature and history at the College of Charleston. He is the author of two other books on American democracy: Marooned and America’s Longest Siege. He also wrote Our Joyce: From Outcast to Icon\, and he edits the popular Seagull Reader anthologies of stories\, poems\, plays\, and essays. He lives in Charleston\, South Carolina. \nAbout Erik Calonius \nErik Calonius is a former reporter\, editor\, and London-based foreign correspondent for the Wall Street Journal. He served as Miami Bureau Chief for Newsweek. The Wanderer is his first book. He lives in Charleston\, SC\, with his wife and son.

SUMMARY:A Special Story Time with Matt Diffee
DESCRIPTION:RESCHEDULED FROM JUNE 23RD\, 2026. \nWhat does the dog say? Zip zap wickety wack! We look forward to hosting award-winning cartoonist and The New Yorker contributor\, Matt Diffee\, for a special\, silly story time to debut his new children’s book. Stemming from classic animal sound books\, and already slated as best for the category under WSJ and NYT reviews\, this laugh-out-loud\, soon-to-be classic puts a new spin on the old “cow says moo.” Bring the littles (all ages welcome) for an unexpected and delightfully absurd\, but widely appealing program. \nPurchase Tickets Here! \nChildren’s Admission to this Program is Free!  \nPlease note\, we’ve updated our ticketing system—purchases now go through Neon Events for a smoother registration experience. For any issues\, please call our Front Desk at 843-723-9912. \nIf you are unable to attend the event\, but would like to purchase one or more copies\, please visit Buxton Books. \nAbout the Book \nNew Yorker cartoonist Matthew Diffee makes his children’s book debut with this laugh-out-loud twist on the classic animal sound book. The cow says “moo.” The horse says “neigh.” Everyone can agree on these. But when the sheep says “baa\,” the goat cuts in. The goat also says “baa.” Now what? No one wants to share their sound! The sheep has an idea—he’ll just say something no one’s ever said before: “zip zap wickety wack bing bang walla balla flip flap yackety yack.” But an otherworldly visitor shows up to lay claim to this sound\, too—and the alien doesn’t want to share his identity either. When the alien proposes a radical new way forward\, the sheep and the goat find a compromise—and it may sound familiar to adult readers . . . Matthew Diffee’s hilarious wit will be an immediate hit with young readers in his first picture book. Sure to inspire boisterous read-alouds and threaded with a sneaky message about sharing\, Zip Zap Wickety Wack will inspire new nonsense and new values in homes\, classrooms\, and farmyards around the world. \nAbout the Author \n\n\nMatthew Diffee has been contributing cartoons to The New Yorker since 1999. His work has also appeared in Time\, The Huffington Post\, The Believer\, and Texas Monthly. He is the editor of three volumes of The Rejection Collection: Cartoons You Never Saw and Never Will See in The New Yorker\, and has also worked as a freelance illustrator. Diffee is a recipient of the Silver Reuben Award for gag cartooning and was recently named Chairman of the Los Angeles Chapter of the National Cartoonists Society. He grew up in Texas and now lives in Los Angeles.
