Description: Join us at the library for a unique reading and discussion series. Led by a local scholar,Let's Talk About It: America's Greatest Conflict will feature lively discussion of five novels written about the American Civil War. The series begins on Sept. 8 and concludes on Nov. 3.

The first title in the series is The March by E. L. Doctorow. The novel is set in 1864, when General William Tecumseh Sherman marched his sixty thousand troops east through Georgia to the sea, and then up into the Carolinas. Almost hypnotic in its narrative drive, The Marchstunningly renders the countless lives swept up in the violence of a country at war with itself. The book discussion will be facilitated by Dr. Bes Spangler, recently retired from Peace College in Raleigh. 

Registration for the discussions is required and can be done online, by telephone, or in person at any branch. Call the library at 483-7727, text “ccplinfo” to 66746,  if you have any other questions. 

This project is made possible by a grant from the North Carolina Humanities Council, the state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities, in partnership with the North Carolina Center for the Book, a program of the State Library of North Carolina.
