Northern Colorado Common Read Activities at Sterling Public Library

Sterling Public Library is providing another opportunity to discuss Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand on Oct. 25^th at 2:00 p.m.  Unbroken is the story of Louis Zamperini.  When the war began, the athlete became an airman, embarking on a journey that led to his doomed flight and time in Japanese prisoner of war camps.  It is a fascinating story to discuss.

Another part of the celebration includes celebrating our veterans.  There is still time to bring in your pictures of any veteran or someone currently serving.  Pictures will be displayed through Nov. 12, 2012.

The library is also honoring our veterans with a lunch on November 9^th from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.  The program is for veterans and their family.  At noon Evelyn Harper will talk about the book Sterling Heroes by Dr. John Elliff.  She will have books available for purchase.  There will also be a scrapbook available for viewing on World War II vets.  Please call the library at 522-2023 if you plan to attend.

The library will take you back in time with the program What’s Happening at Home on Monday, Oct. 29^th at 7:00 p.m.   Library staff, and special guests Glenis Schmidt, Anna Mae Hagemeier and Rena Morrison will talk about what life was like at home during the war.  There will be a sample of several foods that were popular during that era.
