There's a new “Little Library” to enjoy in Washington Street Park!

The Rotary Club of Beaufort, the oldest of Beaufort’s three Rotary Clubs, donated a “Little Library” to the City.  Little Libraries are a great way for communities to inspire a love of reading, build community, and spark creativity by making it easy to exchange books in our neighborhoods.

Located at the Washington Street Park, at the corner of Washington and Newcastle Streets in the Northwest Quadrant., this library was built by Rotarian Steve Lanier and installed by employees of the City of Beaufort Public Works Department in April.
