SUMMARY:Second Saturday Storytime & Craft
DESCRIPTION:11:00 am Family Storytime (birth – 5 years)\n11:30 am Craft Time \nJoin us for stories\, songs\, movement and more as we celebrate and promote early and emergent literacy at the Transylvania County Library! Same theme and craft as Tuesday storytime. \n\nMore About Early and Emergent Literacy \nBabies\, toddlers\, preschoolers\, in all stages of development with their parents and caregivers are welcome to our morning of celebration. Children start to learn language from the day they are born. As they grow and develop\, their speech and language skills become increasingly more complex. During early speech and language development\, children learn skills that are important to the development of literacy (reading and writing). This stage\, known as emergent literacy\, begins at birth and continues through the preschool years. \nFrom birth\, babies listen to language patterns in everyday speech\, as well as in rhyming\, chanting\, and singing – all of these play an important part in literacy development. As they develop\, children see and interact with print in everyday situations. In everything from books and magazines to grocery lists\, whether at home or in preschool\, they are (and should be) encountering language in print well before they start elementary school. \nParents can see their child’s growing appreciation and enjoyment of print as they begin to recognize words that rhyme\, scribble with crayons\, point out street signs and symbols\, and name some letters of the alphabet. Gradually\, children combine what they know about speaking and listening with what they know about print and become ready to learn to read and write. \nThat’s what storytime at the library is all about!

SUMMARY:Chautauqua Festival 2026 - Revolutionary Americans - Rebecca Motte
DESCRIPTION:Hear her story in her own words. A prominent early Patriot supporter\, Rebecca Motte’s wild adventures during the\nBritish siege of Charleston included her later escape upriver to help destroy the British headquarters in her occupied home! Even though reared in a wealthy family\, she suffered the death of her brother in a shipwreck\, the loss of four of her seven children and\, during the war\, the death of her husband Jacob. After the surrender of Charles Town in 1780\, the British commander chose Rebecca’s home on King Street as his headquarters. She then moved her family to Mt. Joseph\, a newly built country home on a commanding hill overlooking the Congaree River. Ironically\, the British soon after decided to seize that home as well because it was near a key supply road and ferry for both armies. Rebecca\, resigned to her fate\, sadly watched as the British moved in nearly 200 soldiers\, turning her new home into a British garrison with deep trenches and massive fortifications. When General Francis Marion (the “Swamp Fox”) and Colonel Henry Lee and their Continental Army troops attacked Fort Motte\, Rebecca aided them in setting her own home on fire to force the British to surrender! \nChris Weatherhead (Rebecca Motte)  \nChris Weatherhead has been a leading actress in film\, television and stage for fifty years. She trained with Brewster Mason of the Royal Shakespeare company (USC\, Irvine and London). She is a writer\, director and producer of nine award-winning films and co-starred\, wrote\, directed and co-produced All For Liberty\, Echoes of Glory\, Heroes from the American Revolution\, The Final Trials of Anne Hutchinson\, Light for Your Journey and John at Patmos\, An Allegory. She also wrote/directed Frederick Douglass\, No Turning Back and John Laurens’ War. She recently co-starred in the thriller Valley of the Horntak. On prime-time television\, Ms. Weatherhead has had numerous guest starring roles including on Dallas\, Our Family Honor\, Moonlighting\, Night Court\, Sinatra (mini-series) and Equal Justice. \nBased in Greenville\, SC\, Chautauqua History Comes Alive is interactive theater and the performances offer an astonishing journey into the past allowing the audience to hear stories of the characters in their own words. This year’s character performances are Rebecca Motte (Saturday\, June 13); Paul Robeson (Tuesday\, June 16); Mother Jones (Thursday\, June 18); Captain Henry Felder Saturday\, June 20); and Edgar Allen Poe (Tuesday\, June 23). Doors open one hour before show\, seating is first come\, first served. The Chautauqua Festival at the Transylvania County Library is made possible by the generous support of the Friends of the Library.
