Community Collaboration - Winona Public Library Children’s Military Corner and Recording/Listening Station
The goals of this project are to provide a service to military families and the community that is not offered in Winona County. It is designed to not only provide support but also to educate about deployment, parent loss and other hard to deal with and confusing events for children and their families. It will provide an opportunity for military families to communicate and better understand their feeling through books, information and communication.
Original outcome goals were met: Providing the community a resource not elsewhere available. The project is ongoing and the expectation is for continued use and increased awareness.
