Event Type: Adult Age Group(s): Adults Date: 9/26/2018 Start Time: 12:30 PM End Time: 1:30 PM Description: Join us for an afternoon of coffee, tea, and enthusiastic discussion at our monthly book club for adults! This month's book selection is "Code Girls" by Liza Mundy. Recruited by the U.S. Army and Navy from small towns and elite colleges, more than ten thousand women served as codebreakers during World War II. While their brothers and boyfriends took up arms, these women moved to Washington and learned the meticulous work of code-breaking. Their efforts shortened the war, saved countless lives, and gave them access to careers previously denied to them. A strict vow of secrecy nearly erased their efforts from history until now.
