New and improved BDC opens tomorrow

The new and improved Beaufort District Collection opens to the public tomorrow morning at 10 am. The Research Room will be open Mondays through Fridays, 10 am until 5 pm -- except when we can't be -- as on declared County holidays, unscheduled mandatory hurricane evacuations, staff in-service days, or reduction in schedules on account of insufficient staff to offer customer service.

A Personal Reflection: It's been an arduous 9 year journey from the initial request I made to the Library Board of Trustees on September 18, 2001 to the ribbon cutting later today. Although at times I despaired that it would ever happen, I am so grateful for all the people and organizations that have helped me protect the "Wonders of the Beaufort District Collection" by giving of their time, talents, and monies. I am scared to mention anyone by name in fear that I will inadvertently omit someone. I hope the 150 angels of the BDC already know that I thank each and every one of you from the bottom of my heart. We done good. -- Grace
