SALISBURY - Join us at 6:30 pm on Thursday, June 6th in the Stanback Auditorium of RPL Headquarters (Salisbury) when author Peter Carlson brings us the story of Junius Browne and Albert Richardson, two New York Tribune correspondents who hold claim to one of the greatest escape stories in American history. 

Their amazing and unbelievable odyssey is packed with drama, courage, horrors, and heroics, plus many moments of antic comedy. We will learn about their connections to Salisbury, where Junius and Albert endured a stay in the Confederacy’s most notorious prison, Salisbury Confederate Prison.

SALISBURY - From Rowan Public Library: The Rowan Public Library invites people of all ages and skill levels to participate in a Spring photowalk event on Saturday, May 18th at 10:00 am at RPL Headquarters (Salisbury).

A photowalk is just as it sounds--an opportunity for a group of people to go on a walk with the express purpose of taking photos together.  For our photowalk, we’ll start at the library and head downtown, where we’ll see sculptures, murals, historic landmarks, and more.  Staff will be available to assist you along the way.  Feel free to return with us to the library for light refreshments, or plan to stay downtown and grab a bite to eat for lunch. 

Please bring at least one camera per family.  Be sure to charge your battery beforehand, and wear comfortable shoes and clothing for the walk.  In the event of inclement weather, the photowalk will be cancelled.
