Celebrate 100 Years with "Rosie's Mom"!

Past event
Apr 9, 2016, 2 PM

Please join us at the Lanpher Memorial Library on Saturday, April 9th at 2:00 for the Vermont Humanities Council Speakers Bureau Program ROSIE'S MOM: Forgotten Women of the First World War:

One hundred years ago, a full generation before Rosie the Riveter, women rolled up their sleeves and entered war industries where they had never been welcome before. They ran powerful machinery, learned new skills, and faced the sullen hostility of the men in the shops.

In this illustrated lecture, historian Carrie Brown reveals their courage and their hard work, and explores how these women helped shape the work that their more famous daughters would do in the next World War.

Mark your calendars for Saturday, April 30th at 2:00 for Vermont Author Ron Krupp who will discuss his book "The Woodchuck Returns to Gardening".
and Tuesday May 3rd at 5:30 for a Composting Workshop with Lamoille Regional Solid Waste Management District. (Please visit the Calendar page our website: lanpherlibrary.org to register for this program online, or give us a call: 888-4628)
