Just a reminder that we're kicking off our 2010-2011 "Lunch in the Library" series today at noon with "Gladys the Riveter."
Step back in time to Boeing's 1945 wartime aircraft plant as Gladys Haines with rivet gun in hand works on a B-29 airplane and helps us understand the challenges (large gloves, overly friendly supervisors, exhaustion, child care) and pleasures (great pay, after-work recreation, helping in the war effort) of doing "men's work" in the 1940s.
And don't forget, all those in attendance have a chance to WIN a framed "Rosie the Riveter" poster.
So bring your own lunch and we'll provide the drinks and cookies!
Hope to see you there.
