Letters to the Editor

Great to read the Beaufort County Bookmobile still alive and well

It made me so very happy to read your recent story about the Beaufort County Library’s Bookmobile.

As a child growing up in Baltimore more than 60 years ago, it was always an exciting day when the Bookmobile was scheduled to visit our elementary school. I am sure that I have them to thank for my love of reading.

I had not thought about Bookmobiles for a very long time and assumed they had gone the way of rotary phones and typewriters. Hopefully, this will encourage a whole new generation of avid readers.

How wonderful also that the seniors at the assisted living facilities have not been forgotten. Thank you, Beaufort County Library.
