The Friends of the Beaufort Library is a dedicated non-profit organization, founded in 1978.  We are proud stewards of the funds raised through memberships, donations, and proceeds from our annual Book Sale.

Thanks to the support of people like you, we donated $90,000 during the 2025/2026 fiscal year to enhance library services at the four branches in northern Beaufort County.

We proudly funded these vital resources and community programs:

• The Beaufort branch Children's Room renovation
• Penworthy Circulation kits and WonderBooks
• Decodable Books and Spanish Language Books
• StoryWalk (outdoor reading) at the Spanish Moss Trail and the Port Royal Naval Heritage Park
• Lucky Day books
• SC State Park Passes
• Summer and Winter Reading programs
• Branch Library Programs and Library Staff Support
• Books Sandwiched In - Speaker and Author events
