Led by Dr. Karen Arnold, independent scholar, poet and former visiting professor at the U.S. Naval Academy, this book group is open to current service members and veterans from all eras. Participants should plan to attend all five sessions (January-May). Registration required. Contact the Towson Branch at 410-887-6166 or email towson@bcpl.net to register. February’s book is Against All Odds: A True Story of Ultimate Courage and Survival in World War II by Alex Kershaw. This bestseller reveals the true stories of four highly decorated soldiers who served in the U.S. Army’s 3rd Infantry Division, spanning from the 1942 invasion of North Africa to the lives they lived after the war ended. The Veterans Book Group is coordinated statewide by Maryland Humanities and is presented locally in partnership with Baltimore County Public Library. The Veterans Book Group is supported in part by the Wawa Foundation.
