South Carolina - Charleston County Board of Voter Registration and Elections
Program Title
"Owlbert Learns to Vote"
Program Summary
Owlbert Learns to Vote is a coordinated voter education initiative from the Charleston County Board of Voter Registration and Elections in partnership with the Charleston County Public Library. The original childrens book follows Owlbert, the librarys mascot, as he and his classmates vote on whether to build a playground on their soccer field. Through this engaging story, young minds learn about democracy, decision-making, and respectful debate. The book was launched with a community event featuring a read-along, a mock election, and book giveaways. Owlbert Learns to Vote, along with the launch, presented a hands-on way to build early civic engagement.
