Warner Library's World War II Exhibit Final Live Event Tonight

The final event of the Warner Public Library's World War II exhibit is tonight.

The Exhibit opened last month and has been very popular. It showcases how World War II affected DeWitt County. Several local veterans participated and told their stories along with donating several artifacts from their experiences during the war.  Bobbi Perryman, librarian at the Warner Public Library says that they have had great turnouts for the different events so far.

Perryman says that this exhibit is special because it places a personal touch on history. There are still men and women in Dewitt county who experienced World War II firsthand.  The Library has dedicated themselves to assist in telling their personal stories with as much detail as possible.  The attention to detail begins right when the observer enters the exhibit. Perryman explains many of the things one can see while they visit the library.
