Other: ​If you haven’t read Wilma Dykeman’s The French Broad, then I would recommend adding it to your reading list.  The Library has two copies and we have a copy in UNC Asheville Special Collections. It’s from the classic “Rivers of America” series. There is also an excellent article about both her and this literary work on the Asheville Citizen-Times located here.
