Honoring The Military
Is someone in your immediate family a veteran, on active duty, or died while serving our country (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, or Coast Guard)?
The library would like to honor military families in the Liverpool area by displaying their serviceperson's official military photo in the library's new "In Honor of Those Who Serve" case.
Photos will be on display in our secure glass case for one month and then returned to you with our thanks.
