From staff reports
Every year since 1987, The Friends of the Beaufort Library has hosted Books Sandwiched In, a lunchtime, multi-week series at which a community member talks about a book that has been meaningful to him or her, and the series will continue in 2025.
Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, these discussions are free and open to the public. Light refreshments are served and raffle items are available for bidding each week.
The two-hour sessions begin at noon each Monday from Jan. 27 through March 10 at the USCB Center for the Arts at 805 Carteret Street in Beaufort.
“Books Sandwiched In is a beloved community event where you can explore something new, maybe a new book, idea, or experience from a different speaker each week,” Program co-Chair Annette Baker said in a news release. “You don’t need to read the selected book in advance, just bring a friend or come and make a new one. Everyone is welcome.”
For those interested in joining the Friends to support the work they do in enhancing library services, an annual membership can be purchased at the door or on the Friends website at $25 per household or $15 per military household.
