Check out the new Library homepage!

Things are changing at Beaufort County Library.

To celebrate our new catalog software coming up tomorrow, Halle Eisenman, our Library's webmaster, has designed a new look for our BCL website.

You may have already bookmarked the Beaufort County Library's homepage thinking that it was only http://www.beaufortcountylibrary.org. Technically speaking, though, what you bookmarked was tied to our former service provider, SIRSI. We won't be using that company any more (which will end up saving us some $s.) Here's the rub. If you bookmarked our old website, you will need to delete it since went to the library software fee-for-service company we are dropping. The new website is supported by an Integrated Library Systems (ILS) Open Source software. I repeat: If you bookmarked our homepage before Monday, May 25, 2009, you will need to change your bookmark.

[For techies among you, which I am most decidedly not, our new web homepage is supported by Drupal Open Source software. If you have questions about it, please contact our webmaster. I assure you Halle knows a dump truck full more about the topic than I ever will.]

Please let Halle know what you think of the new homepage. Your comments, both positive and negative, can help us improve our service. Sometimes we can "fix" things; sometimes we can't; but, rest assured, we will try.
