This popular book club, sponsored by the North Carolina Humanities Council and the National Endowment for the Humanities, offers inspirational fiction and nonfiction books with a North Carolina theme. The program’s theme, Journeys through North Carolina, highlights the different ways of experiencing North Carolina: a place of freedom, local customs and foods, and a homeland for indigenous peoples. This year’s program will include a brief book discussion of each title and a presentation showing the historical background. The entire program will meet for three sessions, the 3rd Wednesday of each month, from March through May 2025. Participants will receive North Carolina Humanities-themed gifts when registering.
