VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WVEC) Now this was a cool job, being part of a brand new program from Virginia Beach Public Library, initiated by librarian Kellye Carter, called Books at the Beach.
On this day another librarian with 33 years experience was helping us out, Denise Barnhart. The WVEC reporter, Joe Flanagan (pictured, center) was worried that offering free books to Oceanfront visitors may be a challenge because he didn’t have any librarian skills.
“We can teach that. We can’t teach compassion. We can’t teach caring. But we can teach anybody how to do the day-to-day things,” said Kellye Carter, manager of the Oceanfront Area Library. The books were collected by the Friends of the Library.
