On a personal note: I have been gratified by the number of new faces I've been seeing at our programs over the past 6 months. I am grateful for those of you who have always supported the mission and programs of the Beaufort District Collection. We're trying to respond to customer suggestions and needs by expanding the breadth of our local history program offerings and to share those programs outside of downtown Beaufort. If you like what we're doing, please let us know. If you don't like what we're doing, please let us know that, too.

I hope to see you at one or more than one or all of these BDC @ BCL Branch Library programs.
