Join Leslie Heaphy, Associate Professor of History at Kent State University, Stark Campus, for a lively and informative look at how soldiers and civilians occupied their minds and hands during wartime. Professor Heaphy is a popular speaker at the library and her special interest in the history of baseball will add extra zip to the evening.
