George H. & Laura E. Brown Library


The mission of Brown Library is to provide resources and services for community residents of all ages by enhancing and contributing to their educational, informational, recreational, and leisure needs in the most efficient manner possible. We especially recognize our responsibility to serve as a place for children to discover the joy of reading and the value of libraries.  Special emphasis is placed on supplying adults with current reading materials; on providing reference services to students (at all academic levels) and other information seekers; and on making facilities available for local individuals, organizations and agencies to do community work.   The library serves as a learning and activities center for all residents of the City of Washington and the surrounding Beaufort County area.
