War Stories...

Memorial Day is on May 27 this year.  It is a day to remember those who died in active military service.  While it is important to remember and honor those who died, it is also important to remember those who have served and are serving, and those affected by war whether adult, child or animal.  Below is a list of books available in the Children's Room at the North Castle Library that shows us what it means to serve and survive war.
