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.

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

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

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