This is an opportunity for local artisans to display and sell their creations to a most receptive audience. Last year, 14 local artisans - including several young, aspiring craft persons – participated. Handcrafted pottery, paintings in all media, photographic images, fabric creations, fused and stained glass, shell creations, bracelets, and other items were presented.

Friends of the Pamlico Library is leading the development of a modern, multi-use library that serves as a true community resource center.

Designed to hold a 36,000-item collection, the 10,000 square foot facility will be much more than a traditional library, with common space and individual meeting rooms, technology resources such as computer and internet access, a business center to encourage and support economic growth, multi-generational reading rooms, and an internet café that provides youth employment and training. Download and share the FOL Brochure.

Libraries are becoming less about materials and more about the experience of learning and connecting.  Our vision is a multipurpose space with creative programs and offerings that will serve the needs of our community today and into the future.  Bonnie Cap, President, FOL
