9/11 Display

This September marks the 17th anniversary of 9/11, one of the worst attacks on American soil. Rohrbach Library now has a display in memory of that terrible day. This display includes some very interesting pieces, including newspapers from September 2001 reporting on the attack. Be sure to check this display out on the second floor (in the quiet space). Here are some resources about the attack:
