Message from the Director

This year the Friends of RML Book Sale was held at the public meeting room of the Water/Sewer facility of the North Attleborough Department of Public Works. This building is on Whiting Street. The Friends and everyone associated with the library is very grateful to Mark Hallowell, the director of the DPW for giving us the okay to use this room for the week necessary to set up and conduct the sale. We were very happy with the change and hope to use the room in the future. Many thanks to everyone who helped to make this sale such a success.

by Julie Otsuka
A story told from five different points of view--a mother receiving the evacuation order, her daughter on the train ride to the camp, the son in the desert internment camp, the family's return home, and the final release of the father after years in captivity--chronicles the experiences of Japanese Americans caught up in the nightmare of the World War II internment camps.
