North Carolina Year Book's were published by the Raleigh News and Observer during the early part of the 20th century.

They are excellent resources to find information about past county and state officials, churches, businesses, and more!

The Library of NC's Government & Heritage Library has a collection of these books spanning from 1901-1941 available to view at our library.

From Warblers to Waxwings and Hummingbirds to Hawks to House Finches, birds rely on native plants. In fact, native plants are one of the best ways to bring wild birds to your garden and support wild creatures of all sorts.

Join us on May 30 for Native Plants for Birds, a native plant walk focusing on plants and practices you can use to support bird populations in your yard or garden. Register at: slnc.info/plantwalk526 (Link in Bio)

(Peep peep! You can visit our native plant seed library to pick up seeds to support your backyard foodweb anytime our library is open, too!)

In honor of Teacher Appreciation Week, we would like to highlight the contributions of Donald Hayes Conley, an education leader who worked in Pitt County Schools for more than six decades.

Conley understood that his students' lives outside of school were critical to their success in school. In addition to serving as a school-level educator and district leader, he worked to improve students' health and wellness inside and outside school buildings, ensuring students had access to dental care during the Great Depression, serving as a director of the Pitt County Tuberculosis Association, and advocating for physicals for school athletes.

Check out our NCpedia entry on D.H. Conley, written by a current teacher, Steven Hill.

Thank you, teachers and educators, for everything you do every day in your classrooms and learning spaces. We see you, we value you, and we're here to help you. This week and every week.

At the NC Government and Heritage Library, we know that classrooms across the state of NC are powered by the nation's best professionals, in part because we are lucky enough to support their instruction and professional development 365 days a year.

Primary sources are a great tool for historical research. On our ANCHOR (A North Carolina History Online Resource) website we have lots of primary sources available on different topics.

One example of this is the information available on early protestors of royal government overreach in North Carolina known as the regulators.

There are eleven different primary sources that show the feelings of the colonists, how the royal governor and his advisors were feeling, and also reports on a battle that occurred. See all of this at the Regulators Introduction page (https://www.ncanchor.org/anchor/regulators-introduction). (Link in Bio)
