Collectors will be at the library on the evening of October 7th to share their treasures from the wars of our Nation. If you would like to bring any of your treasures to show people that evening, call Sue Oerter at the library 939-6232 to let her know you are coming. Collectors will be present with their items for the evening so you may view things from their collections and ask questions.

World History will be covered by Judi Tomlinson who will share information from her current trip to China.
