2022 Summber Book Sale
The Richland Library Friends and Foundation will host its 2022 Summer Book Sale. The Richland Library Friends and Foundation book sales offer the community opportunities to take advantage of great deals and rare finds while supporting the local library.
The sale will be held at the Richland Library Operations Center, 130 Lancewood Road, on the following dates:
A private book sale is scheduled for July 22. A minimum, yearly donation of $25 to the Richland Library Friends and Foundation is required to attend. Donations can be made online or at the door.
A public book sale is scheduled for July 23.
Browse a selection of 30,000 gently-used items including books, CDs, and DVDs. Prices for paperbacks start at $1, and prices for hardbacks start at $2. Materials are available in all genres for children, teens, and adults.
The Richland Library Friends and Foundation hosts seasonal book sales throughout the year. Combined, these events raise more than $70,000 annually to support the library.
During both sales, the library is limiting the number of customers in the building for the safety of both customers and staff.

New Artist-In-Residence
Richland Library continues providing unfettered access to programming, services, and resources, including mental health, mindfulness support and creativity through performance. The library’s newest addition to the residency program is Terrance Henderson.
Henderson is the dance program coordinator for Midlands Arts Conservatory, director of the Modern and Contemporary Dance Program at Southeastern School of Ballet, and chair of the Equity Task Force at Trustus Theatre.
In 2016, Henderson was the recipient of the Steve G. Morrison Visionary Award presented by One Columbia for the Arts and Culture. Most recently, he was featured in the Historic Columbia and University of South Carolina Libraries “We’re Here” Project collecting oral histories of LGBTQIA+ Columbia.
During his residency, Henderson plans to share some of his strategies for telling personal stories and bringing creative ideas and inspirations to life through performance.
He plans to offer panel discussions with other local performance artists, workshops for the community that will focus on the creative process, as well as classes designed to help educators encourage creativity in teaching and learning in the classroom and beyond.
Henderson holds office hours each week in his studio on the second level at Main on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11 a.m. –1 p.m. He will serve as Artistin Residence through December 16.
