The Homefront: Manitowoc County in World War II
Explore this digital collection - http://digicoll.library.wisc.edu/WI/subcollections/HomeFrontAbout.html of photographic images, oral histories, published sources and documents, artifacts, and other resources which help to document the history of Manitowoc County from 1939 to 1947—both the more universally shared home front experiences and activities as they played out in this specific county, and those more unique activities which especially defined the area during the War. The photo above shows employees at Aluminum Goods Manufacturing Company Plant #4 assembling 90-gallon oil tanks for B-29 bombers.

Foreign Film Series
Hero - Tuesday, October 20 6:00 PM
A nameless warrior arrives at an emperor's palace with three weapons, each belonging to a famous assassin who had sworn to kill the emperor. As the nameless man spins out his story--and the emperor presents his own interpretation of what might really have happened--each episode is drenched in red, blue, white. The result is stunning, a dazzling action movie with an emotional richness that deepens with every step. 2004 Directed by Yimou Zhang
No registration required. We’ll provide popcorn, bring your own beverage. This program is open to adults 18 years of age and older. Discussion to follow the movie. For more information call the Reference Desk at (920)793-7114.
