Why does Florence Mom like to dump her own trash instead of paying monthly service? 
It's free to dump your trash and recyclables yourself here so why not? Plus you can clear your house trash more than just once in week! I hate it when trash accumulates and then it starts to smell from sitting out for too long. 

I think it's great that Florence and many parts of the Carolinas have dump sites where you can take out your own trash, especially around Christmas time when our trash bins are overflowing.

My 20 month old baby and I went to the Florence County Library for the first time today for baby story time at 11:00AM. My baby had a great time! Besides hearing a story, the babies also played with other walking babies. The librarian also blew bubbles and let the kids each have a scarf and bell bracelet to dance to the songs. It was located in a private room. After the story time was over, I let my baby played around the little house in the children's section of the library. He continued to play with other kids and also sat down for a brief moment to attempt to match the puzzles. 

They have separate story times for non-walking babies and walking babies.

Check out other story times for different age groups under the event section of Florencemom.com under Storytime.
