97.9 The Hill WCHL and Chapelboro.com are your headquarters for local news and local voices in Chapel Hill-Carrboro. Every Wednesday morning, Chapel Hill Public Library director Susan Brown joins 97.9 The Hill’s Aaron Keck for “Talking Books,” a weekly segment of book recommendations, of all genres and for all ages. (Susan also heads up Chapel Hill’s Community Arts and Culture department, so they’ll often talk about upcoming festivals and other cultural events as well.)
Click here to listen back to the full Talking Books archive – and tune in to “This Morning with Aaron Keck” Wednesday mornings at 8:30 on 97.9 The Hill to hear those conversations live.
This week, Susan looks ahead to Chapel Hill-Carrboro’s Juneteenth celebration at the Hargraves Center, from 10:00 to 3:00 on Saturday, June 17! Saturday’s event will feature live music, food trucks, kids’ activities, a small business fair and nonprofit showcase, and a historic marker dedication for the community center itself.
Visit ChapelHillCarrboroJuneteenth.com for details.
Then Susan and Aaron recommend books related to Juneteenth: Aaron gets nerdy as always with a groundbreaking work of 20th-century historical research, while Susan goes lighter with a more accessible introduction to the holiday – as well as a Black-focused cookbook.
