September is library card sign-up month for North Carolina libraries!

North Carolina Poet Laureate Cathy Smith Bowers (pictured) will join local poets for a reading at the Asheboro Public Library to kick off the annual statewide “Smartest Card” library card sign-up campaign.


The reading by Bowers and an “open mike” organized by the Randolph Writers Group will take place at 7 p.m. Wednesday, September 8. It’s free and the public is invited.

Help Us Help CIS!

Once again, the Archdale Public Library is a drop-off point for school supplies for Community In Schools.

This weekend is an excellent time to purchase extra school supplies and drop them at at the Library.

CIS is a local nonprofit organization that connects local volunteers with students to prevent school dropout. Communities In Schools works to ensure that every child needs and deserves these “Five Basics”:

•  one-on-one relationship with a caring adult
•  safe place to learn and grow
•  healthy start and a healthy future
•  marketable skill to use upon graduation
•  chance to give back to peers and community
