MONROE - The Green County Genealogical Society meeting will be held at 10 a.m. May 6 in the second-floor meeting room of the Monroe Public Library.
The opportunity to hear first-hand what it was like in England during the World War II blitz will be provided by author Joy Aavang, who will share her memories of living with her grandparents in England before and during World War II. Their home was near a military target, so the German blitz repeatedly forced them to seek cover in air-raid shelters. Aavang will share her coming-of-age story, living in a danger zone and working for Lloyd's of London.
The event is open to the public, and there is no cost to attend. For more information, call Sharon Mitchell at 815-868-2416 or Donna Kjendlie at 608-921-1537.
The GCGS Research Center in the lower level of the Monroe Public Library is available to the public for research from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. each Tuesday and third Saturday and from 1 to 3 p.m. the first Saturday of each month until June, when summer hours start.
