Cashiers Library In June
Written By: Luke Osteen | Issue: 2018/06 - June
Like every other entity on the Highlands-Cashiers Plateau, Albert Carlton-Cashiers Community Library revs up to full speed in June and is filling its calendar with activities for patrons of all ages.
On Friday, June 22, Author Ashley Stewart will offer a reading and signing of her new book “Hey, Brother” in the library’s Meeting Room. “Hey, Brother” is a gripping science fiction tale set in a small mountain community much like Cashiers. Four years after the United States was essentially wiped off the map, Jane Campbell and her siblings, Willa and Duke, are living life on their own terms. But an unfortunate accident forces them to return to the one place they had hoped they would never see again: home. When they arrive, they find the idyllic mountain town they left behind has been taken over by a totalitarian regime, led by a National Guard unit gone rogue. When the Guard begins reducing rations and refusing lifesaving medications, the Campbells take matters into their own hands. Refusing to stand back and watch their friends and neighbors suffer, the Campbells fight back and set into motion a revolution that will change their world forever. Everyone is invited to attend Ms. Stewart’s presentation.
That same day, experts from the Western North Carolina Nature Center will be on hand to ask “Fact or Myth?” They’ll be joined by feathered and furry friends who’ll help their neighbors on the Plateau understand their rich natural heritage. “Fact or Myth” will be offered for members of the Cashiers Rec Camp and the Boys and Girls Club of the Plateau. The general public is invited to attend at noon.
And everyone is welcome to show up for the Friends of the Library Annual Book Sale, slated for Thursday through Saturday, June 14- 16. This expansive sale draws bibliophiles from across the Southeast. More than 1,000 pre-owned books, DVDs, and audiobooks will be offered. Everything is free and donations are appreciated.For information, call the library at (828) 743-0215. Albert Carlton- Cashiers Community Library is located on Frank Allen Road, across from the Cashiers Post Office.
