On April 6, 1917, the United States officially declared
war on the German Empire and entered World War I. This remains America’s
forgotten war, although more Americans gave their lives than in Korea and
Vietnam combined. Indiana and the World War I Centennial Commission will be
commemorating the World War I Centennial over the next two years and using it
an opportunity to educate Hoosiers about the war’s causes and consequences and
to honor the sacrifice of Indiana men and women who served. Want to learn
more about World War I and get involved in the Centennial? This webinar will
educate attendees on ways to get involved as an institution or an individual
and serve as a starting point to learn about events and exhibits happening in
the state and around the country. Use this webinar as a tool to spark
participation within your library! Join Lauren Patton, Indiana Librarian at the Indiana State Library for this exciting event.
