A WASP Takes Wing: The Women Airforce Service Pilots of WWII.
Wednesday, May 26, 2:00 pm on Zoom
Carol Levin, storyteller, historian, and public scholar leads us on a WWII adventure. More than one thousand women volunteers completed the WASP military pilot training program. Thirty-eight of them died serving their country. WASPs were told that men needed their jobs and they were dismissed and forgotten.

Online opportunities, including our Summer Reading Kickoff reptile and amphibian show featuring Odyss the American alligator, Twinkie the 14-foot python, and Dozer the giant tortoise, will allow families to enjoy programming from their homes. Grab-and-go craft kits will also be available. Children entering kindergarten through sixth grade may pick up game boards and welcome packets beginning June 15!
