Beaufort, S.C. – In these challenging times, the Beaufort County Library has stepped up to support those impacted by Hurricane Helene. Understanding that the storm has brought unexpected hardships, the library is offering a temporary waiver of the $40 “non-resident card” fee. This initiative aims to assist individuals who have been displaced from their homes while they navigate their recovery path.
Residents from areas affected by Hurricane Helene can apply for this special library card which will be valid for one year. With this card, those individuals will gain access to a treasure trove of library resources including books, digital services, workshops, and community events designed to create a sense of comfort and connection.
“All across the Lowcountry, communities are coming together to help those impacted by Hurricane Helene,” said a spokesperson for the library. “This is something our library can do to provide comfort and connection while people are away from home.”
If you’re currently residing temporarily in Beaufort County and were displaced due to the hurricane, you may be eligible for this library card. All you need to do is provide:
This generous offer is an extension of the usual policy where library cards are free to Beaufort County residents ages 4 and older, making it even easier for individuals facing tough circumstances to access the library’s resources.
Libraries have transformed over the years. They’re not just places filled with books anymore. Instead, they’re vibrant community hubs offering a range of services. The Beaufort County Library presents an opportunity for displaced individuals to immerse themselves in various activities, join community discussions, or simply find a quiet moment to read and unwind. Whether you’re hunting for a good book or looking to join a workshop, the library can be a welcoming escape.
It’s pretty straightforward to sign up for the temporary library card. Just make sure to have the required identification handy when you visit any Beaufort County Library location. The staff will guide you through the application process with open arms. Everyone involved is dedicated to providing the support needed during this trying time.
Efforts to support those affected by Hurricane Helene reflect a community spirit that is so crucial during times of crisis. Local initiatives like these remind us that even amidst challenges, there’s a network of support available. Community members are encouraged to use these resources not just for personal gain, but to engage with others going through similar situations. Together, they can foster connections that can sometimes be more valuable than any book.
