News From the Friends of the Beaufort Library
The Friends of the Beaufort Library Donation Box has a NEW cover!
We appreciate your book donations and now it's easier than ever to identify the Donation Box. You'll find the Donation Box in Beaufort (downtown) Library's foyer.
Experience the wonder of Wonderbooks!
With a WonderBook, children can listen to the story being read aloud while following along with the text. Some versions even include learning modes with questions and activities.
WonderBooks make it possible for kids of all reading levels to enjoy books while improving their reading skills.
Friends of the Beaufort Library is proud to provide funding for WonderBooks at the Beaufort, Port Royal, and Lobeco branches.
(The Public Library Foundation of Beaufort County generously donated funds for WonderBooks at the St. Helena branch.)
