It's awesome and we are so lucky to have something like that available. When I was visiting family in GA, my sister was so jealous. Not only can you make holds, but you can view their entire catalog, link to hoopla and Libby, request inter library loans and much more. This location...I thought I'd mention that there are two parking lots, one on each side of the building. They are not connected to each other though. If you live in Durham County and especially if you pay taxes, you should definitely utilize the library since you're paying for it! :)

Though you don't need a secret password or a retinal scan to study here, it almost seems like it. I…read morehad to especially jump through some hoops when I wanted to research some journals in their Rare Books archived collection. I was a grad student at a different university -- so using the library required some form-filling. You have to lock your backpack away in a separate room and can only take pencil (no pens!), paper, and a laptop with you into the study room. My journals were old and stiff, so they gave me special paperweights (they don't look so 'special' -- more like felt blocks) to weigh them down with. Luckily, my materials weren't so old that I had to be supervised while reading them or use 'special' tweezers to turn the pages. If you take a moment to soak up the room, you can't help but be awed (I'm an admitted book geek, but still...). The room itself is beautiful, but there's also something thrilling about being in the presence of so many rare and ancient tomes locked away in cages. There are also underground archives, and the contents of these unseen rooms hearken a scene from The Historian (or, for you movie-going types, National Treasure). Of course, Wilson has other rooms that are less intimidating! Check out the NC writers section, which is set up like a museum.

The stories that I'd been told did not disappoint. I was run through so much security I thought I was in a Get Smart parody. For a library! Try it some time, it's a lot of fun. Once you're in there it's a really great place. You'd be amazed the kinds of books they have on file in the Rare Books collection. I about went nuts with stuff from the Sherlock Holmes collection... amazing!

Shangri-La Stone Village is in Prospect Hill, NC. It is near the volunteer fire department, so if…read moreyou can find that, you will see Shangri-La. Admission is free and there was not anywhere to leave a donation but they do have a notebook that you can sign in and share your thoughts. The notebook in the box was from April and there have been many visitors since then. The Village was created with stone from a local quarry. He quarried the stone himself. Henry Warren created this village when he was 72 back in 1968. He was battling cancer at the time. He was a retired tobacco farmer and created 27 buildings that are pretty tall, I'd guess 4-6 feet tall, out of stone. He selected each piece and constructed it all himself. He used white flint rock, quartz, brick, and cement to create this masterpiece. I like that he used other items in his work like door knobs, table legs, ceramic and glass. The art in the designs is remarkable. His workmanship needs to be applauded as his work is still standing after decades. The Village has a mill with water wheel, a school, a church, a theater, a water tower, a farmhouse, a doghouse, an outhouse, a motel, a general store, a jail, a library, a liquor store, and City Hall. He was working on the hospital when he died and his family completed that for him. He finished in 1972 and put up a plaque in the front that says, "Let me live in the house by the side of the road and be a friend to man." Visitors are welcome to tour his creation at any time and for free. Children who came to visit would leave toys to enjoy the village so it was fun to see who was living in the village. Warren died at 84 years old back in 1977 but left behind his work of love for all of us to still enjoy. So if you get a chance, stop by and enjoy his work and take in the whimsy and feel the magic.
