Join the Angier Public Library's Clean Reads Book Club!Are you passionate about books that uplift, inspire, and entertain without the worry of unexpected content? 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:Take My HandBy: Dolen Perkins-Valdez Montgomery, Alabama, 1973. Fresh out of nursing school, Civil Townsend intends to make a difference, especially in her African American community. At the Montgomery Family Planning Clinic, she hopes to help women shape their destinies, to make their own choices for their lives and bodies.But when her first week on the job takes her along a dusty country road to a worn-down one-room cabin, Civil is shocked to learn that her new patients, Erica and India, are childrenâjust eleven and thirteen years old. Neither of the Williams sisters has even kissed a boy, but they are poor and Black, and for those handling the familyâs welfare benefits, thatâs reason enough to have the girls on birth control. As Civil grapples with her role, she takes India, Erica, and their family into her heart. Until one day she arrives at their door to learn the unthinkable has happened, and nothing will ever be the same for any of them.Decades later, with her daughter grown and a long career in her wake, Dr. Civil Townsend is ready to retire, to find her peace, and to leave the past behind. But there are people and stories that refuse to be forgotten. That must not be forgotten.Because history repeats what we donât remember.Grab your spot, bring your insights, and let's delve into the beauty of clean reads together!Wednesday, November 12 | 10 - 11 a.m. | Adult ProgramđAngier Library: 28 N Raleigh St, Angier, NC 27501âNo Registration Required

Known for their intense aroma, cloves are commonly used in both savory and sweet dishes, such as stews, curries, baked goods, and spiced drinks. They contain eugenol, an essential oil with medicinal properties, making them popular in traditional medicine for soothing digestive issues and toothaches. Ground or whole, cloves add a distinctive warmth and depth to dishes, especially in holiday recipes and spice blends.This event is a fantastic opportunity to connect with fellow food enthusiasts, learn something new, and add some flavor to your cooking repertoire.

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 Great DismalBy Bland Simpson"Just below the Tidewater area of Virginia, straddling the North CarolinaâVirginia line, lies the Great Dismal Swamp, one of Americaâs most mysterious wilderness areas. The swamp has long drawn adventurers, runaways, and romantics, and while many have tried to conquer it, none has succeeded. In this engaging memoir, Bland Simpson, who grew up near the swamp in North Carolina, blends personal experience, travel narrative, oral history, and natural history to create an intriguing portrait of the Great Dismal Swamp and its people. For this edition, he has added an epilogue discussing developments in the region since 1990."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, November 20 | 11 - 12 p.m. | Adult Program đBenhaven Library: 2815 Olivia Rd, Sanford, NC, US, 27332âNo Registration Required

When her brother ships out to serve in Vietnam, she joins the Army Nurse Corps and follows his path.As green and inexperienced as the men sent to Vietnam to fight, Frankie is over-whelmed by the chaos and destruction of war. Each day is a gamble of life and death, hope and betrayal; friendships run deep and can be shattered in an instant. In war, she meetsâand becomes one ofâthe lucky, the brave, the broken, and the lost.But war is just the beginning for Frankie and her veteran friends. The real battle lies in coming home to a changed and divided America, to angry protesters, and to a country that wants to forget Vietnam."Need a copy of the book? No worries!
