Reed Kimball of MAPS Air Museum examines how World War II sparked and accelerated change for American women, highlighting their wartime contributions and their lasting impact.

Join us and learn more about how World War II reshaped American society and accelerated change for groups long pushed to the margins, including African Americans, Native Americans, Japanese Americans, and women.

Though their wartime contributions were essential to victory, lasting equality often lagged behind. One of the most significant shifts involved women, whose expanding roles during the war challenged long-standing expectations and helped redefine their place in American society.

About the branch

The Green Branch Library offers fun, exciting, and educational programs for customers of all ages, both in the Library and throughout the Green community. Visit us for preschool storytime and school-age and family events at the Library. Visit our NatureConnect space and also look for our youth librarians in your schools' classrooms where they will be making a visit soon. Adults can participate in book discussion groups, including our newest, the Food For Thought Cookbook Club, and attend informative programs on health and wellness, financial education, local history, and much more. While at the library, computers, WiFi, faxing and scanning are available for your use. Books, movies, and music are ready for you to borrow.

Next time you're out and about in our community—at the Celebration of Education, Freedom Fest, Trick or Treat Trail, Christmas at Town Park—look for the Green Branch Library table and the friendly Library staff. We want to say hello and share all that's happening at your public library.
