Happy Veterans Day to all who have served, currently serve, and to the loved ones, family members, and caregivers of service members. Today and throughout the year, we honor and appreciate those who have made and continue to make sacrifices for our country. The Jacksonville Public Library has created veteran-themed booklists for all ages to pay tribute to this national holiday.
Jacksonville Public Library is proud to host The Color of Freedom, presented by the Military Women’s Memorial and AARP, from September 7 to October 23, 2024, on the fourth floor of the Main Library. This powerful exhibit honors the diversity and contributions of America’s servicewomen.
Throughout the month of May, and especially Memorial Day, we pause to appreciate all those who have stepped forward and answered the call to serve in our Armed Forces – sailors, soldiers, airmen, marines, and coastguardsmen. We also recognize the commitment and sacrifices of the entire military family: spouses, children and parents. Jacksonville is a proud military town! We salute each and every one of you.
Looking for ways to celebrate this weekend? Jacksonville Public Library will be closed on Monday, May 30 in observance of Memorial Day. But there’s still time to visit!
