We pay tribute to the 100th anniversary of America’s entry into World War I on April 2, 1917, with a series of WWI book discussions and programs this fall Remembering World War I. We also celebrate the important role that public libraries made to the war service. During WWI, the American Library Association organized fund drives and book donation drives, facilitated with the help of local libraries, to provide reading material to active servicemen in the United States and to establish library collections for American servicemen abroad. Sandusky Library owns several posters made popular in the days of this national campaign for book donations, stating Books wanted for our men in camp and “over there” – Take your gifts to the public library and Knowledge wins – Public library books are FREE. Sandusky Library welcomes Jeremy Angstadt as its new Museum Services Manager. Jeremy will join the Library’s team on September 1 as Manager of the Follett House Museum. Jeremy will work in Reference Services at the Library as well as at the Museum. Jeremy holds a Master of Arts in History, Concentration Public History, from Villanova University in Pennsylvania. Jeremy has recently worked as an interpretive aide at Slate Run Living Historical Farm in Ohio, and he has worked at Valley Forge National Historical Park in Pennsylvania. We look forward to introducing Jeremy to the community in the near future. Molly Carver, Executive Director
New Museum Services Manager Jeremy Angstadt.
September is Library Card Sign-up Month in libraries across the country. Our wish is for every child entering school to be registered for a library card. We encourage parents to visit the Library with their child and register, because a library card is the most important school supply of all, and it’s free!
