The Veterans Museum kiosk, located in the library’s lobby, has been accessed more than 170 times since its launch in mid-August. This initiative is part of the library’s ongoing efforts to honor local veterans, building on past projects such as the 2013 oral history interviews conducted in partnership with Haven Hospice and the St. Johns County Council on Aging.
Debra Rhodes Gibson, Director of the St. Johns County Public Library System, emphasized the importance of this partnership, stating, “The Veterans Museum partnership is a way for the libraries to further show our appreciation for their service through storytelling.”
