THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO JOINED US AT THE BLUEY PARTY & BEAUFORT BRANCH CHILDREN'S PICTURE BOOK ROOM UPDATE CELEBRATION
More than 300 children, parents, and grandparents joined the Beaufort County Library for a Bluey-themed celebration of the newly enhanced picture book area at the Beaufort Branch. Families enjoyed photos with Bluey and Bingo, activities, and a free book for each child courtesy of the Friends of the Beaufort Library. The refreshed space was a collaborative effort between the Library and the Friends of the Beaufort Library, who contributed $35,000 toward new shelving, seating, tables, and activity centers.
Local and state leaders joining the celebration included State Representative Shannon Erickson, Beaufort County Council Chair Alice Howard, Councilman David Bartholomew, City of Beaufort Mayor Phil Cromer, Town of Port Royal Mayor Kevin Phillips, Library Trustees Kathy Cooper and Angela Baldree, and Friends of Beaufort Library president Janice Herbert.
Thank you to everyone who attended the 2026 Book Sandwiched In season. We would also like to thank our speakers, sponsors and volunteers who made this year's series a great success.
