Through a LSTA grant, the Chandler Public Library, using extensive collaboration, was able to present modern American history through multiple perspectives and in a variety of formats. All programs were interconnected by an underlying focus on war’s human dimension. Operating under the consideration that one format does not fit all, the library took a multidisciplinary approach by offering a variety of formats, encompassing films, book discussions, panel discussions and first person accounts, as well as a shared performance experience incorporating music, poetry, and photography.
