65th Anniversary of D-Day

Today marks the 65th anniversary of the Allied invasion of Normandy. President Obama paid tribute recently to the 215,000 Allied soldiers who were killed or wounded during D-Day and the following three months it took to secure the Allied capture of Normandy. Here at the Main Library, there is a book display that pays tribute to the Allied invasion of Normandy 65 years ago. The display is located directly in front of the World War II history books. Titles featured on the D-Day display include works from noted historians Stephen Ambrose, Max Hastings, and Martin Gilbert. We also have a large collection of books and DVDs on the Normandy Invasion by other historians.
