Please plan to join us for the annual Friends meeting next week, Thursday, November 21.  At 3:00pm, we will host a reception for the artisans showcasing their crafts at the library, followed by our business meeting at 4:00pm.  This year's meeting will feature a very special guest and long-time FOL member, Ms. Madeline Ann Sutter.  Madeline will share some of her deep knowledge about trees in our area and other fascinating details about her experiences as a renowned landscape architect. We will also report on the status of our new library, plans for 2025, and vote on officers for 2025. See the agenda here.

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
