Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Brunswick County public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Creation of Brunswick County Cemetery Committee
Residents and historical society members urged the county to adopt stronger protections for unmarked and historic cemeteries against encroaching development. The board subsequently approved a new cemetery protection ordinance and directed staff to explore an overlay district.
Barbie Branch Library Expansion
The Barbee Library expansion has secured the funding needed to begin the county planning process — a big step toward more space and services in Oak Island. FOLSOI fundraising is supporting the project.
Interlibrary Loan Policy Revisions
Revisions to the Interlibrary Loan policy are under consideration and will be discussed at the September meeting.
Institutional Library Cards
The board is exploring special library cards for organizations like schools and community partners. Research continues before any policy change.
