Talking Treasures - Episode 9-Don't Judge This Library By Its Cover!

You are overdue for a Visit: Little River's Library is Having a Moment! When you think of your local library, you might picture quiet shelves and checkout cards, but the Little River Library is rewriting that story entirely. 📖 This week on Talking Treasures, we're pulling back the curtain on one of Little River's most beloved community anchors and trust us, there is SO much more happening inside those doors than you might expect. From summer reading programs that keep kids engaged and excited all season long, to monthly book sales, activities, and events designed for adults too — the Little River Library is a year-round hub of learning, connection, and community fun. And none of it happens without the incredible volunteers of the Friends of the Little River Library — the dedicated group of locals who show up, fundraise, and make sure this community treasure keeps thriving for everyone who walks through the door. Whether you're a longtime library card holder or you haven't visited in years, this episode will have you planning your next trip before we're even done talking. Little River's library isn't just a place to borrow books — it's where community happens. And this summer, it is absolutely the place to be. Tune in — then grab your library card and go explore.

Talking Treasures - Episode (8) - Stay Cool, Play On — Little River's Indoor Game Changer

Summer in the Grand Strand Just Got a Whole Lot Cooler! When it is too Hot to Stop, Little River's coolest new hangout is the place to be! Summer on the Grand Strand is gorgeous — but let's be honest, July and August outside can feel like playing sports inside a hair dryer. 🥵 This week on Talking Treasures, we're stepping INSIDE and turning up the fun at Little River's newest indoor event space — where pickleball courts meet golf simulators in one fully climate-controlled, play-all-day destination. That's right. No heat index. No sunscreen required. Just pure, competitive, good-time energy — whether you're a pickleball obsessive, a golfer looking to dial in your swing year-round, or just someone who wants something genuinely fun to do that isn't wilting on the beach. This is the kind of venue the Grand Strand has been missing — a place where locals and visitors alike can stay active, stay cool, and have a blast no matter what the thermometer says outside. We're sitting down with the people behind this game-changing space to talk about what they've built, who it's for, and why indoor entertainment in a beach market is anything but a consolation prize — it's the main event. Summer just got a whole lot cooler. Literally. 🏓⛳❄️ Come for the pickleball. Stay for the AC. Listen to find out everything you need to know before your first visit.
