Join Us for “Ghost Ship Month”
(February 2006)
The Chapel Hill Public Library Foundation is sponsoring a month-long “One Community, One Book” event in February that will appeal to kids of all ages, from preschoolers to the “kids” still inside us at the age of 80!
The selected book is local author Bland Simpson’s Ghost Ship of Diamond Shoals. Ghost Ship is a nonfiction novel about the real-life mystery surrounding the disappearance of the crew of the Carroll A. Deering when it ran aground on a sandbar off Cape Hatteras 1921. All the sails were set and the galley was prepared for a meal, yet there was not a soul onboard! To this day, no one knows what happened to the crew.
February’s “Ghost Ship Month” will be fun for everyone in the community. The Library Foundation is bringing to town a bunch of interesting speakers, museum artifacts, old photos, and documentary films to inform, entertain, and intrigue our community. ( more )
