In recognition of Veterans Day, the Library is highlighting resources to support our military veterans, both during and after their transition to civilian life.
We’ve recently added five new books to our collection focusing on topics such as veterans’ benefits, navigating available resources, and adjusting to life beyond military service. These books are available for checkout and offer information, guidance, and support for those who have served.
Looking for additional information? We’ve also put together a Veterans Resource Guide featuring helpful resources, information about benefits, and other support services.
You can also visit our latest blog post for more information and resources.
Whether you’re a veteran, supporting a veteran, or simply looking to learn more, we invite you to explore these resources!
