LIBRARY

Family and MWR

NOVEMBER IS...

NATIVE AMERICAN HERITAGE MONTH

Check out our special display this month of books, films and audio books in honor of Native Americans.

Our featured DVD “We Shall Remain” is a fivepart documentary spanning nearly four hundred years of pivotal moments in U.S. history from the Native American perspective, challenging the twofold stereotypes of American Indians as “simply ferocious warriors or peaceful lovers of the land”.

25TH ANNIVERSARY

This year marks the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall that divided East and West Germany for nearly three decades. On 9 November 1989, euphoric crowds gathered on both sides of the wall to celebrate the opening of the borders and the beginning of the dissolution of the Eastern Bloc. The library joins the commemoration with a display including literature documenting the story of the Berlin Wall from the first days in summer of 1961 through the beginning of the German reunification.

FEAST ON BOOKS

INTRODUCING MANGO LANGUAGES

OUTDOOR RECREATION

Family and MWR

IP S O V E R N IG H T T R NUREMBERG GETAWAY WEEKEND

NOVEMBER 7-9 Since the Middle Ages, Nuremberg has been regarded as one of the few cities closely tied to a “European Identity.” We would be remiss if we did not mention that the German National Museum is one of the best and that the city has a strong association with transportation and has a great museum devoted to trains. Price: $250 per adult, $125 per

child ages 5-15. Includes transportation, accommodations and breakfast.

PRAGUE WITH TWO OVERNIGHTS

NOVEMBER 14-16 “The Golden City” just gets better and better. Spared extensive bombing damage in WWII, Prague still has an authentic feel to its wonderful architecture. The capital of Bohemia has the famous Charles Bridge, and Old Town Square, the beautiful St. Vitus Cathedral in the Old Castle and a wonderful tradition of musicmaking by “Bohemians” of all stripes. Your guide gives an excellent tour of the Franz Kafka Museum and there is a reputation for the quality of Czech beer as well! Price: $330 per adult, $135 per child ages 5-15 Includes transportation, accommodations and breakfast.

Hours of Operation Sunday-Tuesday & Thursday-Friday Noon - 6 p.m.
