The Color Purple
Alice Walker鈥檚 Pulitzer-winning novel is a powerful tale of resilience, sisterhood, and survival, set in the early 20th-century American South.
The 1985 Spielberg film (starring Whoopi Goldberg, Oprah Winfrey, and Danny Glover) and the;
2023 musical adaptation, both bring Celie鈥檚 journey to life with unforgettable performances.
Gone Girl
Gillian Flynn鈥檚 psychological thriller about a seemingly perfect marriage gone horribly wrong keeps readers guessing until the very end.

Unearthing the Past: The Legacy of Slavery and Stories of Resilience
As Black History Month begins, we reflect on one of the darkest chapters in American history: the transatlantic slave trade and its enduring legacy. For over 400 years, millions of Africans were forcibly brought to the Americas, enduring unimaginable brutality. Yet even in the face of oppression, enslaved individuals resisted through acts of courage, cultural preservation, and community-building. Explore firsthand accounts that reveal both the horrors of slavery and the unyielding spirit of those who survived.
Our library鈥檚 collection also includes documentaries. Each offers critical insights into slavery鈥檚 economic and social impacts.
Spring Library Technology Lending: Tech Tools, Laptops, & Calculators!
Fall 2024 was rough, y'all. The Library ran out of both loaner laptops and calculators within the first weeks of class and, we were operating on a waitlist for the whole 16 weeks. We hated it as much as you did.
THANKFULLY, we're mostly great now and ready to check out Chromebooks and loaner calculators to those who need them thanks to our NC DIT Digital Champion Grant which will allow us to buy more and refresh our current circulating Chromebooks AND purchase additional TI-84 graphing calculators for our MAT students.
We're still working on processing more PC laptops for those students who need them for IT classes, including our multiple one-term CIS 110 borrowers. Soon! Also soon? Info about our "keeper" Chromebook program for loaner laptop borrowers.
Keep reading for refreshers on borrowing a loaner laptop, calculator, or one of our awesome Tech Tool options.
As a reminder, to borrow equipment from the 七色视频 Library--either Main or Orange County--you'll need a library account and
