Program Recommendation: Larry Martin's WWII In Their Own Words
by Brandi Tambasco 21 Nov '18

21 Nov '18

Earlier this month, the Howell Carnegie District Library had Larry Martin present his Larry Martin's World War II In Their Own Words program in celebration of Veterans Day. For the last two decades, Mr. Martin has interviewed over 100 WWII veterans and, for 12 years, presented over 100 programs at libraries and organizations in Michigan featuring these filmed interviews. A Jackson, MI resident and Navy veteran himself, Mr. Martin is a retired Lansing firefighter and passionate, self-professed WWII junkie with an extensive collection of WWII memorabilia, which he displays and shares at his presentations. At our program this month, Mr. Martin showed his interview with Warner Klemm, a Navy veteran who survived Pearl Harbor and spoke about his experience during and immediately after that fatal bombing. We had a great turnout for this event, with plenty of veterans in the attendance. The audience feedback included requests to have him return for future library programs. Mr. Martin's website, www.lmww2.com, lists all of the veterans he has interviewed by name, service, front, and country. Check it out for more information on his program, including testimonials. Larry is very personable and knowledgeable; his presenter fee was reasonable; and he was a pleasure to work with. I know other libraries have had good experiences with his presentations, since I became aware of him through this listserv! (Thanks to everyone who has recommended him!) If you are interested in having Mr. Martin present at your library, he can be reached at batt.chief(a)yahoo.com. Happy Thanksgiving, Brandi Brandi Tambasco Adult Services Librarian Howell Carnegie District Library 314 W Grand River Howell, MI 48843 T: 517-546-0720 x131 F: 517-546-1494 tambasco(a)howelllibrary.org www.howelllibrary.org
