“Let’s Talk About It” continues at Hickory Public Library |
There are a couple more opportunities to participate in a great book discussion series at Hickory Public Library! The remaining sessions for the “Let's Talk About It” book discussion program at Patrick Beaver Memorial Library are on the Tuesdays of February 25th and March 10th from 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. The theme of the program is "Altered Landscapes: North Carolina’s Changing World." These works from the new millennium differ from those before in that they begin more starkly with recognition of the inevitability of violence and loss. Darkness fills the margins. Yet as grim as life can sometimes be, hope exists where it always has, in human hearts, in strong memories, in a commitment to reach across the divide to hold another’s hand. |
