To commemorate National Library Week (April 19–25) and celebrate our local libraries, NHC Fellows and staff organized a month-long used book drive to support the Durham County Library system.

Yesterday, the NHC donated over 150 books to the Friends of the Durham Library (@friendsofthedurhamlibrary ), a nonprofit organization that helps fund programs, services, and materials at Durham County Library. The National Humanities Center is delighted to support our local community and public libraries. Photo credit: @mattrameyphoto
