October is German Heritage Month, and to celebrate, Wahiawa Library is holding four sessions that will explore Germany’s rich history of over 1,000 years in four sessions. In this fun series, we’ll examine how Germany continues to influence American daily life today, including aspects of education and industry (find out which German products you have been using all along!), art, culture, sports, food, and so much more. Walk away with a new understanding of Germany’s influence on Hawaii’s history, some German phrases, and even a new German recipe or two. This series is hosted by Angie Castellaw, a German native who lives and works in Wahiawa. Audience participation is welcome; there will be a chance to ask what you’ve always been wondering about “Deutschland.” If there is enough interest or demand, a German language course may follow.

Event dates:
October 1 @ 5:00pm
October 8 @ 5:00pm
October 15 @ 5:00pm
October 22 @ 5:00pm

This four-part series will be held in library meeting room. Space is available for up to 30 people. Children under age 12 must be accompanied by an adult at all times. Not appropriate for children under the age of 7.

Anyone who requires an auxiliary aid or service for effective communication, or a modification of policies or procedures to participate in a program, service, or activity should contact library staff as soon as possible.
