April Book Discussion April 9th
5:00 - 6:30 pm No registration required Come discuss "Code Girls" by Liza Mundy, on April 9th from 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm at our monthly book club! The book club will be held here at the Coy Public Library. You can request this item through our digital catalog, or by calling the library at 717-532-4508. Recruited by the U.S. Army and Navy from small towns and elite colleges, more than ten thousand women served as codebreakers during World War II. While their brothers and boyfriends took up arms, these women moved to Washington and learned the meticulous work of code-breaking. Their efforts shortened the war, saved countless lives, and gave them access to careers previously denied to them. |
