More Than Just Books
Discover the Magic of MCCS Libraries: More Than Just Books
Nestled on the historic grounds of Parris Island and the bustling hub of the Marine Corps Air Station, The MCCS libraries stand as vibrant centers of community and learning. With summer fast approaching, now is the perfect time to explore all that these libraries have to offer. Whether you're a seasoned reader or just looking for a new adventure, our libraries are brimming with resources and activities for everyone.
Gone are the days when libraries were just about borrowing books. At both our libraries, we pride ourselves on being dynamic spaces filled with opportunities for creativity, learning, and fun. Sure, we have an extensive collection of books and audiobooks, but that’s just the beginning.
Imagine walking through the doors and discovering a treasure trove of possibilities. Our libraries are equipped with state-of-the-art equipment that can take your creativity to the next level. You can design your own custom t-shirts with our Cricut and T-shirt press or bring your ideas to life with our 3D printer and laser engraver. For those who love crafting, our embroidery and sewing machines are perfect for your next project.
For the gamers in our community, the MCCS libraries offer a fantastic selection of video gaming systems including Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation. You can check out video games to take home or enjoy the classic arcade games available on Free Play in the library. Whether you're a casual player or a hardcore gamer, there's something here for you.
Our commitment to fostering a love for learning and creativity extends to all age groups. Recently, the library hosted a delightful Royal Tea Party at the Semper Fit Laurel Bay Center where children dressed up in their finest attire and engaged in crafting activities, creating cherished memories. Adults aren’t left out of the fun either; our recent soap-making class was a hit, offering a relaxing and productive way to spend the afternoon.
With summer around the corner, we have an exciting lineup of events and programs planned for both kids and adults. From story time sessions that ignite young imaginations to challenging escape rooms that test your problem-solving skills, there's always something happening at the MCCS libraries.
In addition to our events and creative tools, our libraries provide a range of essential services. You can access computers, scanners, printers, and fax machines (with a 25-page limit per day). We also offer phone charging stations, test prep materials, professional reading lists, and an array of board games.
MCCS libraries are more than just a place to find books; they are community hubs where military families can come together to learn, create, and play. We invite you to stop by, check out a book or two, and see for yourself all the incredible resources and programs we have to offer. Whether you’re looking to dive into a new hobby, connect with others, or simply relax with a good book, MCCS libraries are here for you.
