In Honor of Earth Day

Mark the 42nd annual Earth Day by learning a bit about local animals, plants, minerals and the ecosystems here in Beaufort County via our library's Local History & Nature web pages! 

Animals:  Lovebugs Snakes; Spiders

Plants: Marshes; Oak Trees;

Minerals: Beach Sand

Today also happens to be the date of the annual Parish Church of St. Helena's service held on the grounds of Old Sheldon Church.  The service has been held on the 2nd Sunday after Easter for more than half a century. For the notice about the service held in 1957, see the News & Courier clipping. The BDC has a vertical file on many of the churches formed within Beaufort (and Granville) County, including St. Helena's Episcopal and Prince William's Episcopal (Old Sheldon) churches.  Drop by the Research Room and we'll be happy to show them to you.
