November 2023 Overview

We have a busy 11th month with programs, a community outreach event, holidays, and reviewing applications for the BDC's Library Specialist position.

On Friday, Nov. 3rd we host a talk about the 79th New York "Kilted
Warriors" who were stationed in Beaufort District for a part of the Civil War. The next day Jalen and I will be outside the Arsenal for the Living History Encampment on Saturday, Nov. 4th. Both the lecture and the Encampment are sponsored by the Beaufort History Museum.

The Friends of the Beaufort Library are having their big Fall Book Sale in Waterfront Park, Nov. 3, 4, and 5. That group helped fund the BDC's compact shelving array for which I will be eternally thankful. Great deals are to be had there. Please support them as they help support the northern Beaufort County Library branches and units.

Thursday, November 9th we're on the road to Hilton Head Branch to hear Robert Lanham discuss one of South Carolina's first settlers, Henry Woodward, and his interactions with area Native Americans.
