THE LAST DANCE: The Eagles' Rise to Extinction by Edward Porcelli
For the baseball lover. A true story about college players. On February 11th, 2021, The North Carolina Central Baseball team walked into a meeting with the university's athletic director, expecting to be told they were canceling the upcoming season because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Instead, they were told their school was canceling baseball altogether, and that the 2021 season would be its last for the Eagles. Across the nation, historically black colleges and university baseball programs, are on the chopping block. This is the true story of the events leading up to that fateful day and how the NCCU baseball family persevered over the following months. Assistant Coach and author, Ed Porcelli, gives a first-hand account of how the players, coaches, friends, and baseball alumni of NCCU baseball, dealt with the loss of its program. What was the real reason as to why the administration decided to drop baseball? Was this really a financial decision due to the covid pandemic, or were there other factors at play? Be in the dugout, with the players and coaches, as Central enjoys its best and last season representing the Eagles. Presidential photographer Al Drago illustrates the many different emotions of the players during their final season, capturing the last moments of the Eagles, before their inevitable extinction.
Fly Anyway by Amy Quezon-Wilde (Author), Kelly Jo Terry (Illustrator)
For kids story time. Legend has it that there is a quote that hangs in the halls of NASA that reads, "Aerodynamically a bumble bee's body is not made to fly because the breadth of it's wings is too small to keep it's huge body in flight. The good thing is, the bee doesn't know that and flies anyway."
This is the story of a little bumble bee who dreams of flying but from the start is told all the reasons why she can't. Determined, she sets off on a journey that takes her from the beach, to the mountains, to the jungle and lots of places in between. Along the way she learns through friendship and perseverance to believe in herself and fly anyway.
