SUMMARY:Author James L. Parr Discusses “World War II Massachusetts” (virtual event)
DESCRIPTION:The Bacon Free Library is partnering with the Tewksbury Public Library to bring you author James L. Parr\, who will discuss his new book\, World War II Massachusetts. \nOver 500\,000 Massachusetts residents answered the call to military duty in the Second World War\, while the rest of the state’s citizens fought the war on the home front. Everyone in the family\, including pets\, found creative and essential ways to contribute. Thousands worked in factories\, volunteered for Civil Defense\, watched for enemy aircraft\, and took part in salvage collections and bond drives\, all while dealing with rationing\, blackouts\, rumors\, and a host of other wartime inconveniences. And while thousands of service members left to fight overseas\, the Bay State also welcomed thousands more to serve on its military bases that were such an important part of our nation’s defense. Learn some of the stories of these brave and dedicated citizens — from the famous to the ordinary — as they faced wartime challenges. \nJames L. Parr taught elementary school for 34 years before retiring in 2022. A longtime volunteer at several local historical organizations\, Parr is the author of three additional books for The History Press. \nThis program will be held over Zoom; please register for the Zoom link. \nRECORDING NOTE: This program will be recorded. All registrants will receive the recording via email within 48 hours of the program. \n

This performance is geared toward kids ages 1 – 7\, but fun for the whole family. With modern takes on children’s classics and classic original tunes\, you’ll be humming and bopping all the way home. \nIf the weather is 55 degrees or warmer\, the program will be held outdoors behind the library\, so bring a blanket or towel for sitting on the grass. If it’s rainy or under 55 degrees\, we’ll meet indoors and space will be available on a first come\, first served basis. \nBring your own simple instruments if you can! We recommend shakers\, rhythm sticks\, and scarves\, or homemade equivalents like a container of rice\, a couple of wooden spoons\, and a dish towel. Jammin With You has more instrument suggestions here. \n \nSponsored by Middlesex Savings Bank
