Event Details

At this year's annual Friends of the Cumberland County Public Library meeting, Diya Abdo will share poignant selections from her book, American Refuge. Discover the compelling stories of individuals who now proudly call North Carolina their home, as they navigate the challenges of displacement and resilience. After the presentation, copies of the book will be available for sale and signing. 

Don't miss this opportunity to connect with the heartfelt narratives of refugees, explore the welcoming spirit of North Carolina, and engage in a meaningful discussion with Diya Abdo, a passionate advocate for the refugee experience and whose book is a 2024 North Carolina Reads selection. Join us for an afternoon of enlightenment and empathy as we celebrate the strength of the human spirit and the power of community.
