As a special tribute to WWII Vets of Western North Carolina\, Casciato will present a brand new book by Brevard resident\, Janis Allen.  It is an Honor Project of the WNC Military History Museum.\nCasciato\, a retired high school teacher and coach\, began collecting and displaying artifacts\, uniforms\, medals\, weaponry\, photos\, and personal accounts of brave service men and women in 2002.  It had always been a dream of his to start a military museum\, and when his daughter became a cadet at West Point\, his dream accelerated!  The WNC Military History Museum honors all branches of service\, educates young and old alike about our country’s military past and present\, and is dedicated to showcase and preserve our American heritage. \nThis program have been made possible through a collaboration of the Friends of the Library and the Transylvania Heritage Museum and is free and open to the public.  Light refreshments will be provided by the Friends of the Library.
