ARMY LIBRARY WORLD WAR I PROJECT

2017 marks the centennial of the United States of America entering WWI. To commemorate this momentous occasion, the Army MWR Library has teamed up with partners to create the Remember WWI project. The project will run now through December 2018. The core of the project is located at www.rememberww1.com and features an online book club, short videos, lectures and information about the war, social customs and occurrences at the time. Visit the library or website for more information about how you can join this ongoing observance of the 100th anniversary of WWI.

BOOK DISCUSSION GROUP

September 26, 7 p.m.

Meet Ove, he’s a curmudgeon to be sure! Behind the cranky exterior there is a story and a sadness. A grumpy yet loveable man finds his solitary world turned on its head when a boisterous young family moves in next door. Check-out how this heartwarming tale plays out. Books available at the library.

PAPERBACK CALL OUT

Are foreign language paperbacks cluttering up your book shelves? Donate them to the Library! They will be passed on to the European Rotational Forces including U.S., NATO & partner-nation forces who rotate through Grafenwoehr. The “Free Library” has a wealth of English titles, but little in other languages. Help these soldiers and clear your clutter.

HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH

“Shaping the Bright Future of America” Visit our special display at the library celebrating Hispanic and Latino American culture, heritage, and contributions. Read a book or watch a film this month to expand your knowledge about Hispanics and Latinos who have enriched our nation’s history.

DEFEND THE FIRST AMENDMENT….

READ A BANNED OR CHALLENGED BOOK

Catcher in the Rye . . . To Kill a Mockingbird . . . The Great Gatsby . . . What’s your favorite book? Chances are good that someone has challenged it or tried to ban it. Every year, there are hundreds of attempts by individuals or groups to remove books from schools and libraries. The freedom to read is essential to our democracy, and reading is among our greatest freedoms. The books featured on our September display have all been targeted for removal in libraries or schools for various reasons. You’ll be surprised at many of the titles. Celebrate YOUR freedom to read and your right to choose your book during Banned Books Week.
