Collection a resource for military families

Military families in need of answers now have a resource to turn to, thanks to the Crawfordsville District Public Library and the Montgomery County Chapter of the American Red Cross.

On June 7, library staff unveiled a new collection of military books and materials geared toward helping families who have loved ones serving overseas. The collection was the idea of Bambi Garrett, the local Red Cross chapter’s military coordinator, who received a $1,000 grant from the Military Family Research Institute at Purdue University to help buy materials for the collection.
