Etc/GMT-5

Presentations of Carden's Plays to Benefit County Library Building Fund

“Birdell” is a one-act monologue based on the lives of families who lived on Hazel Creek in the Great Smoky Mountains until the coming of the national park, and is told from the perspective of the fictional character Birdell as she reflects on her long life.

A native of Sylva, Carden earned two degrees at WCU and for more than four decades has presented traditional mountain culture to the public as a teacher, storyteller, novelist, historian, screenwriter and playwright. WCU recognized Carden’s body of work in presenting him with an honorary doctorate of humane letters in 2008.

Westall, a Yancey County native who earned degrees at Berea College and Duke University, taught English and drama before her retirement in 1985. Since then, she has acted and directed in numerous regional productions.

Tickets prices for the shows are $15 for adults, $10 for senior citizens and $5 for students.

For more information about the March 12 and 19 presentations, contact the Friends of the Library at 828-507-0476.

Club Discount Doubled

Happy Valentine's Day

To show our love of all our faithful customers the Book Club discount at City Lights just doubled! Book Club discount at City Lights just doubled! We're changing the name from Book Club to Charlie's Club in honor of Charlie, our cat, and of Charlie Chaplin, whose movie City Lights was Gary Carden's inspiration for naming the store. Charlie's Club gives you the option to receive store updates by mail or email, and starting today, for every ten new books purchased, you get $10 off the next new book purchase. For years the club discount was $5, but with big chain bookstores returning so many unsold books, publishers have been forced to raise prices faster than inflation alone would dictate. City Lights, your local, independent bookstore, is countering this trend by doubling the discount our repeat customers enjoy.
