Library Run
No Library Run the week of July 4th. Service resumes the following week.
If you prefer the comfort of reading a real book versus a tablet, let the weekly Library Run feed your habit. Volunteers transport books checked out through the Brunswick County Library System to and from the Island each week on Wednesdays. The process is simple:
- The service is free, but you must possess a Brunswick County Library card to participate. Visit a Brunswick County library branch with a tax receipt and a proof of permanent residence in hand to apply for a library card. The closest branch is at 109 W. Moore Street in Southport (near the intersection of Howe and Moore streets).
- Once you have a card, log onto the online catalog and select the "Margaret and Jim Harper, Jr." Branch in the upper right-hand corner of the page. Search for and select the book you want to read then click the "Place Hold" button.
- Call the branch at 910-457-6237 and ask the librarian to set your selection aside for the Bald Head Island Library Run. Your book will be available for pick up at the Association Center (111 Lighthouse Wynd) after 2:30pm the following Wednesday.
- When you’re finished reading the book, just drop it off at the Association Center, and it will be returned to the library for you on the next Wednesday run.
That’s it! No ferry or car ride necessary. Contact BHA at 910-457-4676 x21 or diane@baldheadassociation.com with questions. Here’s to the next good book!
