The Focus is World War II at Salem Public Library

Televisions, computers and cell phones can all trace their origins to technological advancements reached during World War II. Amazing, yes? So much of what we take for granted in our daily lives had roots during that perilous war: modern building materials, methods of teaching and learning, and, remarkably, even the way food is stocked at grocery stores, and more. Attendees of the program “The War That Changed Your World: Science and Technology Of World War II”, set to take place on July 27, 2017 from 6:30-7:30pm in the Quaker Room of Salem Public Library, will explore these advancements during this program to be provided by The National WWII Museum of New Orleans, Louisiana.

The program, which is to be presented via video conference set up, is suitable for students in grades 5 through 12 and for adults. Registration is requested and may be done online at www.salem.lib.oh.us or by calling the library at 330-332-0042 or by stopping in the library at 821 E. State St., Salem, OH. The program is open to the public and free of cost to attend.

Don’t miss this opportunity to expand your knowledge and understanding of this turbulent and uncertain time in world history.
