Dina Grant, YCL's Community Engagement Manager, was awarded the Public Library Employee Excellence Award during the Friends of South Carolina Libraries' annual meeting on March 26. Dina was nominated by the Friends of the York County Library for her services to York County Library, which includes helping implement a new Bookmobile in 2019 and, most recently, YCL’s new Outreach Van. |

Among Dina's other accomplishments are enhancing access to library services in the face of the pandemic through such services as StoryWalk®, which brings children’s stories to local parks and other outdoor venues, and Dial-A-Story, a dial-up storytelling program for all ages. Dina also developed York County Reads, an annual community reading program. Congratulations, Dina! |
