The Clean Reads Book Club is for you! We gather every 2nd Wednesday of the month to discuss a book that touches our hearts and stirs our minds, all within the comfort of a welcoming and friendly environment.This month we're reading:Where the Crawdads SingBy: Delia OwensFor years, rumors of the âMarsh Girlâ have haunted Barkley Cove, a quiet town on the North Carolina coast. So in late 1969, when handsome Chase Andrews is found dead, the locals immediately suspect Kya Clark, the so-called Marsh Girl. But Kya is not what they say. Sensitive and intelligent, she has survived for years alone in the marsh that she calls home, finding friends in the gulls and lessons in the sand. Then the time comes when she yearns to be touched and loved. When two young men from town become intrigued by her wild beauty, Kya opens herself to a new lifeâuntil the unthinkable happens.Grab your spot, bring your insights, and let's delve into the beauty of clean reads together!Wednesday, July 9 | 10 - 11 a.m. | Adult ProgramđAngier Library: 28 N Raleigh St, Angier, NC 27501âNo Registration Required

Interested in exploring North Carolina through stories? The Dogwood Book Club invites you to join our monthly meetings, where we read and discuss books set in North Carolina, written by North Carolinians, or about notable figures from our state. This month we're reading:The Lost Book of Eleanor DareBy Kimberly Brock "The fate of the world is often driven by the curiosity of a girl.What happened to the Lost Colony of Roanoke remains a mystery, but the women who descended from Eleanor Dare have long known that the truth lies in what she left behind: a message carved onto a large stone and the contents of her treasured commonplace book. Brought from England on Eleanorâs fateful voyage to the New World, her book was passed down through the fifteen generations of daughters who followed as they came of age. Thirteen-year-old Alice had been next in line to receive it, but her motherâs tragic death fractured the unbroken legacy and the Dare Stone and the shadowy history recorded in the book faded into memory. Or so Alice hoped.In the waning days of World War II, Alice is a young widow and a mother herself when she is unexpectedly presented with her birthright: the deed to Evertell, her abandoned family home and the history she thought forgotten. Determined to sell the property and step into a future free of the past, Alice returns to Savannah with her own thirteen-year-old daughter, Penn, in tow. But when Pennâs curiosity over the lineage she never knew begins to unveil secrets from beneath every stone and bone and shell of the old house and Eleanorâs book is finally found, Alice is forced to reckon with the sacrifices made for love and the realities of their true inheritance as daughters of Eleanor Dare."Enjoy some good reads, meet people who share your interest, and learn more about the diverse narratives that weave through North Carolina's history and culture. Whether you're a dedicated bibliophile or just looking for a cozy way to spend an evening, our book club offers a welcoming space to explore the richness of North Carolina's literary landscape.Thursday, July 17 | 11 - 12 p.m. | Adult Program đBenhaven Library: 2815 Olivia Rd, Sanford, NC, US, 27332âNo Registration Required
