Swansboro Branch Library
Description
The Swansboro Branch is part of the Onslow County Public Library system, serving the eastern end of the county from West Corbett Avenue. Families with young children can attend Family Storytime, a regular program geared toward ages 0-5 that pairs books with songs and early-literacy activities. Beyond the children's programming, the branch lends books, audiobooks, and other materials, and provides a meeting room used for community gatherings and county Social Services Connection sessions. It functions as a neighborhood library rather than a large central facility, which makes it an easy, low-key stop for parents looking to pick up reading material or give kids a quiet, indoor activity. The branch is open six days a week, with a later evening on Thursdays and shorter hours on Saturdays; it is closed Sundays. Call ahead to confirm the current storytime schedule, as program days and times can shift seasonally.
