Tulare County Library Honors Veterans

Join us in remembering the Veterans who served, especially those Tulare County veterans who died while serving our country. The Tulare County Library is honoring Veterans in a special way this year.

Stop by the Visalia Branch Library November 10 through 14, 2015 to sign a card of appreciation. The card is part of the Veterans Day exhibit which features a memorial list of Tulare County veterans from World War II until today who died while in service. The display also includes books about war experiences and life in the Armed Forces.

Here is Tulare County's roll count of honored dead:

                World War II                       246

                Korean Conflict                   56

                Viet Nam                             65

                Persian Gulf                          1

                Operation Freedom       10 (Iraq and Afghanistan)

Come by the Library to view the names of these individuals and to sign the card to acknowledge the sacrifice of our veterans!

The Visalia Branch is located at 200 W. Oak Street in Visalia. The Tulare County Library serves all the citizens of Tulare County with locations in fifteen communities, four book machines, and an online presence at www.tularecountylibrary.org.
