Empowering our library for generations
We raise private funds and build a permanent endowment to extend what public funding makes possible for the Beaufort County Library, from people and programs to spaces and bookmobiles.
Our Programs
Literacy, all year long
Summer
Reading Program
Free books and reading incentives that keep kids reading through the summer.
WeeRead
& Early Literacy
Books for new parents and their babies, plus coaching on reading aloud from day one.
