VERSIONS OF THIS BILL
A concurrent RESOLUTION
TO HONOR THE MEMORY OF YOLANDA MANNING MCCORMICK, DIRECTOR OF THE DILLON COUNTY LIBRARY SYSTEM, UPON HER PASSING AFTER FORTY-FOUR YEARS OF SERVICE TO THE PEOPLE OF DILLON COUNTY.
Whereas, Yolanda Manning McCormick was the first African American library director in Dillon County and the first African American female library director in the State of South Carolina; and
Whereas, for forty-four years, she was employed by the Dillon County Library System, beginning in 1977 as the bookmobile driver before being promoted to branch librarian of the Latta Library, a position in which she served for ten years; and
Whereas, Mrs. McCormick was a graduate of Dillon High School and of Claflin University, where she received her bachelor's degree in art and pledged Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.; and
Whereas, she received her Master of Library and Information Science degree from the University of South Carolina; and
Whereas, she was instrumental in providing access to information from delivery of books on the bookmobile to automating the library system by computerizing and linking the card catalog; and
Whereas, Mrs. McCormick's legacy will live on through construction and renovation projects of library buildings within Dillon County, including the Latta Library, one of the last Carnegie libraries in the country still in operation; and
Whereas, Mrs. McCormick was known to be an excellent employee, determined in spirit, and "the library" to many. She will be greatly missed by the people of Dillon County, the South Carolina State Library, and her library colleagues across the State; and
Whereas, upon her passing, Mrs. McCormick left behind her husband of forty-five years, Samuel Lee McCormick; her daughter, Samantha McCormick; and three grandchildren, Ava McCormick, Stephen Turner, Jr., and Steven Turner. She was predeceased by a son, Sergeant First Class Derrick McCormick; and
Whereas, it is with great admiration that the members of the General Assembly honor Yolanda Manning McCormick for her outstanding service as director of the Dillon County Library System and express sorrow to the many family members and friends she leaves behind. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
That the members of the South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, honor the memory of Yolanda Manning McCormick, director of the Dillon County Library System, upon her passing after forty-four years of service to the people of Dillon County.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to the family of Yolanda Manning McCormick.
