Ocracoke Library

In November, 2015, Ocracoke Preservation Society published an on-line exhibit featuring the history of the Ocracoke Library. The article includes this photo of Marguerite Boos in the 80-square-foot building which served as the island library (and the country's smallest library) for twenty years.  















You can visit OPS's on-line exhibit by following this link: http://ocracokepreservation.org/november-online-exhibit/.         

Our latest Ocracoke Newsletter is the story of Beatrice Wells, child evangelist, who preached at Ocracoke in the late 1930s/early 1940s. You can read it here: http://www.villagecraftsmen.com/news022116.htm.

  1. Is the small building still there? If so, can you tell us where it's now located?

    1. The small library building is still on the island. It is on private property on a private road.

  2. I remember visiting that tiny library in the late 1970s and early 1980s. It was amazing!
