Reference Round Table Presents: Ready for Oregon Reads 2009: Resources for Librarians.
With the selection of Stubborn Twig, Bat 6 and Apples to Oregon, Oregon Reads 2009 will no doubt increase public awareness of the Japanese American Internment during World War II. With this increase, it is safe to assume there will be more internment related reference questions and excited patrons looking for more to read.
The program will be held on February 6th from 10:30am-2:30pm at the Oregon Nikkei Legacy Center in Portland.
10:30am - 10:45am: Welcome and introduction to the Oregon Nikkei Legacy Center.
10:45am - 11:15am: Individuals will share stories from their time at an internment camp.
