Friends Annual Fall Book Sale is on now!

Friends Annual Fall Book Sale is the largest fundraiser by the Friends, with proceeds going back into the library system.

I can attest to their generosity to the library system. Without them, the BDC would still be stuck in way too tight quarters downstairs.

The relocation of the BDC to the 2nd floor would not have been possible without their leadership and financial support. They did much of the organizing of the BDC Compact Shelves fund-raiser last year, gave $20,000 of seed money for the compact shelving array, and even ceded some book sorting space for us to make best use of floor space.

The north of Broad Friends group has always helped protect the "Wonders of the Beaufort District Collection" by funding furniture, equipment, preservation supplies, cash matches to grants, etc. when we've needed them. Thank you, Friends.

So I encourage each and every reader, to head down to Waterfront Park this weekend, grab some literary finds and help support the Library!

Henry C.Chambers Waterfront Park Friday, Sept. 24; Saturday, Sept. 25; and Sunday, Sept. 26

Friday, Noon until 6 p.m.
Saturday, 10 a.m. until 6 p.m.
