Things are changing at Beaufort County Library -- and we hope that you like the new look and feel of our web presence.
Today BCL joins with the SC State Library and Union County Library, (recently named the "Best Small Library in America") in a combined online catalog. We are the beta test for the SC LENDS consortium. By creating a combined online catalog to share resources, we hope to be able to stretch your tax dollar. We hope to have all the wrinkles we discover in SC LENDS ironed out before adding new consortium members in October.
Keep your fingers crossed that the catalog will come up without any hitches. Library staff has put a great deal of work into improving your access to library resources but we won't know for sure how it turns out until after we go live. So, please, we ask for your patience and forbearance as we learn the ins-and-outs of the new system software.
Marketing and Development Coordinator, Sandra Saad, wrote an article about SC LENDS for the Island Packet that will give you further information about how things will be changing. The South Carolina State Library has posted "Fast Facts" if you want to learn more about how this consortium will benefit you.
