Chances are you know all about the free summer performances for kids at various Live Oak public library branches in Chatham, Effingham & Liberty counties. If you don’t know about them, click here for the schedule.

But there are also special programs that are presented by Live Oak’s children’s librarians. The librarians travel from the branches where they normally work to other branches throughout the system to present a program they created based on the theme, which this year is “Dig Into Reading”.

Here are their free programs:
