However, it is not the fault of the two ladies who work there; I find fault with the state and not doing anything to fix a broken system. The two women who worked on April 7 did everything, from answering random questions for the people who walked through the door; performing on-road driving tests; as well as processing REAL ID requests. Both did it ALL with knowledge, patience, and kindness, three attributes lacking in today's society. Thank you for all your hard work and most of all for your kindness. I'm sure it's not easy dealing with multiple complaints on a daily basis when you're not at fault. Hopefully the state gets it together sooner than later. (It will take a Biblical event to have everyone processed with REAL ID's by May 7, 2025 when the resources are nonexistent.

Friendly gentleman helped me, quick in and out visit. Pretty limited parking by front door but plenty around near Moss. Definitely an option if you need to pay in person (we had a registration snafu).

I love this library! Ever since they reopened last year it has become my library of choice. It…read moreisn't the largest library in Raleigh by any means, but it still has everything you need! I really love the drive-thru book drop off. I usually swing by before I bring my son to school and it's very convenient that we all don't have to get out of the car to return the books. I also love the self checkout stations inside the library. They are pretty magical, especially if you are checking out a ton of books. The children's section is great! It's set up in a way that is very clear and easy to follow depending on what age group you are looking for. I loved the candy land inspired interactive game they had setup in December. My son had so much fun checking it out. I especially loved that it was open if the library was open, you didn't have to go in at a specific time. I also love their Lucky Day section at the front of the library. You might get lucky and score a book that would otherwise have a super long waitlist. Such a neat concept! In general Wake County's online library system is awesome. It's so easy to reserve books and e-books as well. At North to pick up your books just head straight in towards the back by the main checkout desk. You can easily find what you need in alphabetical order there. I used the word love a lot of times in this review, but I really do truly love our Wake County library system. It's the best!!

It is one the fifth oldest in North Carolina and one of the very few antebellum courthouses that is still used for judicial purposes. This present building was completed in 1840 with additions added in 1891 and 1937. Extensive renovations were completed in 1988, coinciding with the 150th anniversary of the keystone over the main entrance to the courthouse, dated July 4, 1838. It is a two story H-shaped building made of red brick in a Greek Revisal style. It has a polygonal cupola with a domed room and is a simply stunning structure. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. If you're wandering around downtown Oxford, you can't / shouldn't miss it.

Online, there is more information. "James Webb was born in Tally Ho, Granville County, in 1906. He grew up in Oxford where his father was superintendent of schools. By the time he was asked to run the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), he had gained a reputation as a more than capable administrator. His career to that point included serving as vice- president of the Sperry Gyroscope Company in New York, commander of the First Marine Air Warning Group at Cherry Point during World War II, and director of the Bureau of Budget and undersecretary of state for the Truman administration, in addition to early stints in the offices of North Carolina congressman Edward Pou and former governor O. Max Gardner." "During a time of great social and political upheaval, Webb advocated relentlessly for his agency, making himself personally available to answer questions regarding mistakes, setbacks, or failures in order to deflect the heat away from his staff. Following the tragic loss of Ed White, Roger Chaffee, and Gus Grissom in the Apollo 1 fire on January 20, 1967, Webb spent the next several months on Capitol Hill subjecting himself to the questions, harangues, and criticisms of multiple congressional committees. It was a crucial moment for the agency--there were questions as to whether the Apollo program, or even NASA, could survive it--but Webb took the heat, thereby allowing his agency escape relatively unscathed."

And let's keep in mind - this is the South! The marker reads, "Henry P. Cheatham. 1857-1935. Born into slavery. U.S. Congressman, 1889-1893. Superintendent of Colored Orphanage of N.C., 1907-1935. Grave 8/10 mi. northeast" Online, there is more information. "Born into slavery, Henry Plummer Cheatham represented North Carolina in Congress during the late nineteenth century and helped establish and lead the Colored Orphan Asylum in Oxford. A mulatto, Cheatham--the son of a house slave and her master--was born on December 27, 1857. His father appears to have shielded the young man from slavery and saw to his education. After the death of his father, Cheatham was encouraged by another white man, Robert A. Jenkins, to attend Shaw University in Raleigh. He graduated in 1882 with honors. Although he read law in the office of Robert E. Hancock Jr., Cheatham never practiced. Upon graduation he was appointed principal of the Plymouth Normal School, but his career in education was diverted by the call to politics. "In 1884 Henry Cheatham was elected Vance County Register of Deeds. Rising to prominence in the Republican Party, he became the party's nominee for Congress from the Second District in 1888. In that capacity Cheatham defeated the white incumbent Furnifold M. Simmons. He was reelected to the seat in 1890, but subsequent attempts were not successful. In 1896, in a bitter internal Republican Party race, he was defeated by his brother-in-law, George White. "President William McKinley appointed Henry Cheatham recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia, an office which he held from 1897 until 1901. Cheatham returned to his native North Carolina and, in 1907, became superintendent of the orphanage that he had helped to establish years earlier. Under his leadership the institution dramatically expanded and improved its facilities and programs. He served the orphanage until his death in 1935. Cheatham was married twice, to Louise Cherry who died in 1889, and to Laura Joyner. He had five children. Henry Cheatham is buried in Harrisburg Cemetery in Oxford."
