If it's been a while, you might be surprised at all the new things that are offered. February is Library Lovers Month. So why should you love your local library? Here are some reasons:</span><span class="read-more"><a href="/beacon-articles/february/become-active-part-your-community-simply-going-library"><strong>Read More...</strong></a></span></p> Mon, 02 Feb 2015 10:29:36 -0500 Mary Jo Berkes 6296 at http://beaufortcountylibrary.org More books, more DVDs, more everything: SCLENDS widens catalog for library patrons http://beaufortcountylibrary.org/beacon-articles/january/more-books-more-dvds-more-everything-sclends-widens-catalog-library-patrons <span class='print-link'></span><p style="margin: 20px 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial, Geneva, sans-serif; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 20px; max-width: 620px !important;">Did you know the Beaufort County Library is part of a state lending program that gives Beaufort County residents access to more than 2.75 million materials throughout the state?<span class="read-more"><a href="/beacon-articles/january/more-books-more-dvds-more-everything-sclends-widens-catalog-library-patrons"><strong>Read More...</strong></a></span></p> Mon, 26 Jan 2015 10:29:23 -0500 Stacey Inman 6288 at http://beaufortcountylibrary.org Time to get cozy with good books http://beaufortcountylibrary.org/beacon-articles/january/time-get-cozy-good-books <span class='print-link'></span><p>&nbsp;<span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">Once the hectic holiday season is over, nothing sounds more appealing than some quiet evenings at home to wait out the cold winter nights. Even though the Lowcountry's winters are mild, the chill in the air lends itself well to burrowing into a good book.

But they can also be your parents, people who have overcome great odds, leaders of significant causes or a neighbor. Sadly, many heroes experience lives of suffering and hardship after their feats. We have many heroes at the library, where their stories can be read (in books) or seen (on DVDs).<span class="read-more"><a href="/beacon-articles/november/celebrate-worlds-heroes-books-movies"><strong>Read More...</strong></a></span></p> Mon, 03 Nov 2014 10:35:01 -0500 Bratton deLoach 6099 at http://beaufortcountylibrary.org Go to your nearest BCL branch for a real scare http://beaufortcountylibrary.org/beacon-articles/october/go-your-nearest-bcl-branch-real-scare <span class='print-link'></span><p>&nbsp;<span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">Do you celebrate Halloween? Many families do; some do not. Halloween has a rich multicultural history. It can be said to be a blending of celebrations marking the end of growing season and declaring the coming of winter months. By the 19th century, most of the religious aspects of the Halloween celebration dwindled, and it mostly became a gathering of community and a time of celebrating and fun. Scary stories and movies are a part of the fun in the celebrations.<span class="read-more"><a href="/beacon-articles/october/go-your-nearest-bcl-branch-real-scare"><strong>Read More...</strong></a></span></p> Mon, 27 Oct 2014 09:05:59 -0500 Mary Jo Berkes 6020 at http://beaufortcountylibrary.org When nature strikes back: Nerve-wracking true stories http://beaufortcountylibrary.org/beacon-articles/october/when-nature-strikes-back-nerve-wracking-true-stories <span class='print-link'></span><p><span>My reading preference as of late has leaned toward true stories that showcase the menacing side of nature. In these stories, nature puts man to the ultimate test, and survival isn't a guarantee. Only a few lived to tell their stories.

A historical record today can be on any medium -- paper, tape, microform, photograph, electronic or digital -- to serve as proof that an event occurred, explain how something happened, or fulfill a financial or sentimental need. In most cases, these records have significance beyond the immediate reason for their creation and use.<span class="read-more"><a href="/beacon-articles/september/archives-are-awesome-celebrate-history-beaufort-district-collection"><strong>Read More...</strong></a></span></p> Mon, 29 Sep 2014 09:59:51 -0500 Grace Cordial 5971 at http://beaufortcountylibrary.org Celebrate your right to read whatever you want - even if 'underpants' is in the title http://beaufortcountylibrary.org/beacon-articles/september/celebrate-your-right-read-whatever-you-want-even-if-underpants-title <span class='print-link'></span><p style="margin: 20px 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial, Geneva, sans-serif; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 20px; max-width: 620px !important;">Celebrate <a href="http://www.bannedbooksweek.org/">Banned Books Week</a> at one of the branches of the Beaufort County Library through Sept. 27.

What does this mean in the public library world? Everything. Literacy is not only the ability to read and write; it is also the ability of a person to use those skills to comprehend ideas and use them in everyday life. Providing literacy support in all forms to the community is the main focus of public libraries.</span><span class="read-more"><a href="/beacon-articles/september/get-children-excited-about-reading-during-national-literacy-month"><strong>Read More...</strong></a></span></p> Mon, 08 Sep 2014 08:50:34 -0500 Meghan Kilgore 5935 at http://beaufortcountylibrary.org Aspiring directors and actors invited to join Teen Film Club http://beaufortcountylibrary.org/beacon-articles/august/aspiring-directors-and-actors-invited-join-teen-film-club <span class='print-link'></span><p><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">Do you like to watch movies?

I eventually realized the significant role and societal force government or civics plays in a person's life. The Voting Rights Act of 1965, the Federal Judiciary Act, the Constitution of the United States of America, the Keating-Owen Child Labor Act of 1916 and the Federalist Papers are prime examples.<span class="read-more"><a href="/beacon-articles/august/if-you-want-improve-your-civil-literacy-start-your-local-library"><strong>Read More...</strong></a></span></p> Mon, 18 Aug 2014 10:45:14 -0500 Armistead Reasoner 5908 at http://beaufortcountylibrary.org
