Ready for a change of scene, but not ready to travel in the age of COVID-19? The library has just what you need. Check out Passport Around the World. Call BCPL’s Ask a Librarian line (828) 250-4700, email [email protected], or call or email your local library, and tell us where you would like to virtually visit. Your librarian will select 5-10 items about your destination of choice, anything from documentaries, folktales, and cookbooks to travel guides, poetry, and children’s books. We will notify you when your items are ready. Pick up your Passport bundle at the curbside pickup location of your choice. Bon Voyage!
We will discuss our feelings about the book, what we learned along with pre-made discussion questions.
The raffle will offer three separate prizes to three separate winners: first prize, Moog Source, serial number 2628 (valued at $2,800); second prize, an updated Moog Prodigy, serial number 3078 (valued at $2,500); and the Moog Rogue, serial number 3674 (valued at $1,500) as third prize. The Moog Source and Moog Rogue were expertly restored by Tone Tweakers. The Prodigy was expertly restored by Wes Taggart, who also updated the instrument with a Synthrotek MST MIDI-to-CV Converter, which allows control of the Prodigy from a MIDI keyboard or sequencer, velocity routing, aftertouch or mod wheel MIDI messaging directly to the cutoff frequency of the Prodigy’s world-famous Moog filter.
All three synthesizers share the robust Moog build and rich sound quality as well as a shared technical lineage rooted in the legendary Minimoog, which is widely known as the most iconic, archetypal analog synthesizer of all time. The Rogue and Prodigy are renowned for their deep bass and flexible modulation capabilities while the Source is lauded for its rich sound, and for its sequencers, sample and hold, arpeggiator, presets, and unique data wheel.

Hello Queer Loves!
Welcome to our first queer book club with the book Belonging by Toko-pa Turner.
We’ll begin with introductions and shared group agreements, and then move into a discussion on on the first five chapters with a focus on chapters 4 (False Belonging) and 5 (The Inner Marriage).
The group will be facilitated by Stacia Thompson and Jodi McLaren. Stacia is a psychotherapist who loves spirituality and earth magick. Jodi McLaren is a singer-songwriter and music therapist who dance and express big feelings.
We welcome all queer-identified folks to join for a meaningful inviting conversation at Woodfin Riverside Park at the octagon tables. If it rains we will meet under the open shelter.
We will be spaced appropriately, please bring/wear masks and do not come if you’ve been exposed to covid-19.
The raffle will offer three separate prizes to three separate winners: first prize, Moog Source, serial number 2628 (valued at $2,800); second prize, an updated Moog Prodigy, serial number 3078 (valued at $2,500); and the Moog Rogue, serial number 3674 (valued at $1,500) as third prize.

In this online talk at noon on Thursday, Oct. 8, bestselling novelist Wiley Cash will discuss two questions he always asks when writing a novel. First, “what is this?” Second, “what do I call it?” He also will discuss and read from his forthcoming novel. Pre-register at this link.
Cash is the New York Times bestselling author of three novels – A Land More Kind Than Home, This Dark Road to Mercy, and most recently The Last Ballad. He won the SIBA Book Award and the Conroy Legacy Award, and was a finalist for the PEN/Robert W. Bingham Prize. He is writer-in-residence and teaches creative writing at UNC Asheville where he earned his undergraduate degree.
This event is part of the Brown Bag series (now moved online) from UNC Asheville’s Ramsey Library.
