Crossing the Line, A Journey Through Islam



Thursday March 29th at 7:00pm in Stone 111 Sandhills Community College
Learning Resources will host a very special presentation by
local photo journalist Laura Gingerich.

In October 2006, Ms Gingerich traveled through the Middle East, to Lebanon , the West Bank ,
Pakistan and Afghanistan documenting the relief efforts of Life for Relief and Development.
Life for Relief and Development is a Muslim organization based in the U.S.

Just a few months prior, Beirut and much of Lebanon was ravaged by a war between
the Israeli and Hezbollah armed forces. Laura's talk will feature
the National Geographic quality photographs
of her exploration, as a western woman traveling on her own,
through this critically important part of our world.

This program is the signature event for "2007, A Year of Moore Exploration",
a collaboration between
  • Sandhills Boyd Library
  • Southern Pines Library
  • Given Library
  • O'Neal School Library
  • Moore County Public Library
  • The First Health Library
  • Moore County Public School libraries
This program is free and open to the public.
Ms. Gingerich's photographs are scheduled to be on display in
the Boyd Library Hastings Gallery through June and July of this year.
