Happy First Day of School!

We hope all the students starting their new year in Chatham County Schools had a brilliant day today.

A special congratulations to all the kindergarteners starting this week - we will miss you at storytime but are so proud of you!

I’ve had so much fun reading all the Penelope Rex stories by Ryan Higgins over the last few weeks (I even tried to dress like Penelope!) at storytime. For anyone new to the classroom I hope you remember what we learned from Penelope; be kind, be yourself, and don’t eat your classmates! - Johanna Banana 🍌

Saturday!

Vanessa Miller presents her new novel, The Ladies Hall, in conversation with Jennifer Delamere.

Based on the real lives of Mary Church Terrell, Anna Julia Cooper, and Ida Gibbs Hunt, The Ladies Hall is a mirror into times of great change— where progress and new possibilities are met with violence and resistance… but hope always rises. And it rises still.

Free to attend, no reservations required.
