Carolina Beach's new Pleasure Island Library is holding Open House on Saturday, November 21, from 10 am to 2 pm. Everyone is invited to come out and help us celebrate this happy event! After the speeches and ribbon cutting, the Island Women will lead tours, the Friends of the Library will serve refreshments, Miss Mary will offer Storytimes, and board games will be set out for all to enjoy.
It has been 15 years since we have seen any expansion in the size of library facilities to serve New Hanover County’s growing population.The Pleasure Island Library in Snow’s Cut Shopping Center is almost four times the size of the small building that housed the Carolina Beach Library since 1970. It has room for kids to play and read, a small conference room, and ample parking.
Pleasure Island Library's hours are 9:00 am to 6:00 pm Monday through Thursday, 9:00 am to 5:00 pm on Friday, and 9:00 am to 1:00 pm on Saturdays. Cathy Wahnefried and Mary Kleinfeldt are the full-time staff. Patricia Dew is Supervising Librarian of Pleasure Island and Myrtle Grove Libraries.
