he Moore County Public Library will host famous soccer player Clint Dempsey Wednesday as part of its summer reading program, One World, Many Stories.
Dempsey will share his story and talk about how he became a player on the United States men’s national soccer team and the Fulham Football Club in the English Premier League. The event takes place at 10 a.m. in the amphitheater near Carthage Elementary School. If it rains, it will move to the Carthage Agricultural Center.
Dempsey holds the record for having the highest number of goals in a single season for an American in the English Premier League and is Fulham’s career Premier League scoring leader. He is the second American to score in two different FIFA World Cup final tournaments.
Catie Roche, director of Moore County Public Library, said that the session will be a great opportunity for children and players of all ages. She added that Dempsey will accept children’s questions at the end of the event. It is open to the public and free.
Dempsey is married to former High Falls and Union Pines graduate Bethany Keegan.
