The board approved a slate of officers for a two-year term (vice chair Janet Porter and finance chair Joe Bogas), elected Lynn Miller as chair by secret ballot and voted to add Juneteenth (June 19) to the library's observed holiday closures to match county policy.
The Beaufort County Library Board approved officer placements and added Juneteenth to its holiday schedule at the Jan. 15 meeting.
