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.
WORLD WAR I DAYS OF TRIVIA
Daily over the month of August Consider yourself a history buff? Test your WWI knowledge at the library with our daily “walk-in” trivia.
ROUTE 1 READS
Travel 2,369 miles on Route 1, from Ft. Kent, Maine to Key West, Florida covering 15 states & the District of Columbia, without taking a single footstep. Explore the locale along Route 1 at home or on the road through selected 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.
