North
Carolina
There are currently 130 books in the Webb Library
having to do with the history and culture of North
Carolina. Some are stories and story telling of
local interest while others contain factual
information about our environment and historical
background. There are many books relating to
Carteret County towns.
Indians of the Americas
Most of the 52 books in this collection were donated
in honor of Melvin Anderson Jones. This group of
books includes information and stories about the
native population in both North and South America.
Classics
The books in our Classics Room were given to the
Morehead Woman's Club in the late 1930's by Mr. and
Mrs. Earle W. Webb, Sr. to be the basis of the
Club's ever growing lending library. There are over
1000 books, some with copyright dates going back to
the mid-1800's.
Civil War
This collection is composed of mostly donated
books. There are about 155 books in this
collection.
Black
Culture
A gift to the Webb from Ms. Connie Asero, this
collection relates to black culture in the United
States and elsewhere. It includes both fiction and
non-fiction genres. There are approximately 200
books in this collection.
Large Print
In order to accommodate an increasingly older
population, and all those who are visually impaired,
the Webb has over 500 large print books available.
Thanks to a $10,000 donation from Mr. & Mrs. William
Glasgow of Morehead City, the library will be able
to regularly add to this collection over the next
several years.
