Join us for this 3-part seminar on the blitzkrieg and the invasion of France to be held the first three Thursdays in May at 2:30pm. Register through our events tab or at https://mnl.libcal.com/event/14463270 to receive a reminder or notice of cancellation. Drop-ins are welcome, but we recommend checking our website before coming over. The library will be moving up the street to 1700 Markley Street while they renovate our building. We do not have the exact date of our temporary closure at this time, but it is getting close! (This seminar may be moved to an alternate location in Norristown.)
The seminar will cover the personalities, tactics, and military strategy at play during this crucial time in European history. The story unfolds in chronological order so plan to attend all three sessions if you can.
