Author Georgeann Eubanks to Speak May 3
At Annual Meeting of Friends of the
Library
Author Georgeann Eubanks will be the guest speaker at the annual meeting of the Friends of the Chatham Community Library on May 3.
Eubanks’ most recent book, “Literary Trails of the North Carolina Piedmont,” is the second in a series of regional guides that bring the state's rich literary history to life for travelers and residents. Eighteen tours direct readers to sites which more than 200 Tar Heel authors have explored in their fiction, poetry, plays and creative non-fiction.
The annual meeting of the Friends will be held on Thursday, May 3, at 7 p.m. in the Holmes Family Room of the Chatham Community Library. Light refreshments will be served after the presentation and brief meeting, which includes the election of new officers.
Georgeann Eubanks is a writer, teacher and consultant to non-profit groups across the country. She is also director of the Table Rock Writers Workshop, was a founder of the North Carolina Writers Network and is past chair of the North Carolina Humanities Council.
Each of the 18 tours in her “Literary Trails” includes a list of literary figures associated with the area; a brief historical and cultural context; descriptions of highlighted sites; and passages from the writings of people past and present who lived there. And each tour concludes with suggestions for related places of interest, such as libraries, bookstores, arts centers and cafés.
Copies of Eubanks' book will be available for purchase and signing at the meeting.
