Read-In VI on June 1
Join us for Read-In VI on June 1
Schedule
Schedule
- 5:00 pm Read-In
The read-in is open to the public. Supporters are encouraged to attend, bring a favorite book, and take part in a peaceful, visible demonstration of support for the library before the commissioners’ meeting begins. If you have a "Read Free NC" pin, please wear it to show your support. We will have a few on hand for anyone who needs one. Before the meeting, attendees can also sign up to share during the public comment portion how libraries and reading have influenced their lives. - 6:00 pm Commissioners Meeting
We urge you to sign up for public comment before the meeting starts, and speak in support of our library. The County Commissioners usually wait to publish their agenda until the Friday afternoon before their Monday meeting, so we do not yet know if there will be any action concerning the library. But we intend to stand united in support of our library regardless.
We were honored to have celebrated NC authors Jaki Shelton Green, Jill McCorkle, and Joseph Bathanti join us at the May Read-In. Although they stayed for the commissioners meeting and signed up to speak during public comment, Chair Frye ended the unusually interactive public comment period before they had a chance to speak. Our authors had long drives home, and had to leave before public comment reopened at the end of the meeting. But they graciously allowed us to interview them before the meeting started. Keep an eye on your email for these videos and updates on next month's Read-In.
