For Immediate Release

All five locations of the Beaufort County Public Library System now have a separate "Book

Club Corner" section, filled with books read by the book clubs in each community. Both

book club members and the general public would be able to check out these items for their

reading pleasure.

While we cannot meet the full demand for copies of these books, we want to know what is

being read by the book clubs and have at least one copy of these titles in our collection. To

help us maintain our "Book Club Corner" collections, we are asking book club participants

to donate their clean, unmarked copies (even paperbacks) to the library for this collection.

We consider book clubs to be a positive way to encourage reading, literature and

discussion.

Library customers often ask our staff about book clubs and reading lists.

We encourage the members of the book clubs to contact us directly, with information about

your groups, the books you are reading, and donations of books to the "Book Club Corner."
