MLK Tribute with the NC Association of Black Storytellers

The library hosted the North Carolina Association of Black Storytellers this past Saturday. These distinguished verbal artists shared with the audience stories of the past to enrich the future. Check out this great picture of one storyteller.

Pimp My Bookcart

Every year the creative minds at Unshelved present "Pimp My Bookcart." Now, librarians know what a bookcart is. It is simply the cart we use to reshelve materials.
Pimp My Bookcart shows the artistic side of a profession largely believed to stick to the uniform order of Dewey. Check out some of these carts and let us know if they don't make you smile.
Perhaps next year, our very own Beatties Ford Road will throw in our hat to compete against these fine bookcart designers.

Early Voting Rocked!

Early voters came out November 1 for an amazing 4 hour wait to cast the ballot. We are proud of all of our voters! The line wrapped around the building. Between the band in the front lawn and the impromptu kids' football game in back, we had a community event.
