SUMMARY:It Takes a Village: Supporting Youth\, Families\, and Schools in a Digital Age
DESCRIPTION:Our kids are growing up in a world we never imagined—where friendships\, play\, and even self-worth are shaped by a screen. Anxiety\, depression\, and disconnection are rising\, and it’s not by accident. The digital world is designed to consume their time\, their attention\, and sometimes… their childhood. But we don’t have to let it. Join us as we unpack The Anxious Generation and learn how we\, as a community\, can reclaim what matters most. \nNo pre-reading is required to attend. \n4 Door Prize Winners will receive a book!\nSponsored by the La Crescent Public Library \nThis program is sponsored by Winona State University COUNSELOR Education\, La Crescent Public Library\, La Crescent Emotional Wellness Connection\, and Hiawatha Valley Education District.

SUMMARY:Women Airforce Service Pilots of WWII: A Visible Veterans Program with Frederick Beseler
DESCRIPTION:Join the La Crescent Public Library and presenter Frederick Beseler to learn about the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASPs) of WWII. The WASPs were organized in order to provide pilots\, replacing the male pilots being sent overseas and into combat. The WASPs flew more than 60 million miles in every type of aircraft in the Army Air Forces inventory\, from biplane trainers to four-engine bombers and transports and 400-plus MPH fighters. The primary role of the WASPs was delivering the thousands of new aircraft from the factories to airfields around the United States — including Alaska — where the male pilots trained on those aircraft before taking them overseas. \nThis program is part of our Visible Veterans series\, and made possible thanks to a grant through SELCO and the MN Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund. This grant is a collaboration between the La Crescent Public Library\, the La Crescent Area Historical Society\, the American Legion Post #595\, Veterans of Foreign Wars Post #11542\, and the City of La Crescent.
