SUMMARY:Freedom to Read: The Fight Against Banned Books in WWII
DESCRIPTION:Books were among the most powerful weapons used during World War II. Beginning in 1933\, the German government campaigned to ban and burn all books that it deemed threatening to its Nazi ideology. To counteract these efforts\, the governments of Allied nations distributed hundreds of millions of books to troops around the world and encouraged people to exercise their freedom to read. \nIn connection with Reading Under Fire: Arming Minds & Hearts During Wartime\, join curator Molly Manning for a talk about the banning of books during World War II. After the talk\, Molly will be available to sign her new book\, A Librarian’s War\, in which she highlights the important roles played by books and librarians in wartime democracy. \nDoors open at 6:10pm. A Librarian’s War will be available for purchase in the Shop.\n\nMolly Guptill Manning is an author\, historian\, curator\, and associate professor of law at New York Law School. She is the author of the New York Times bestseller When Books Went to War\, The Myth of Ephraim Tutt\, and The War of Words. She has spoken across the country about the power of the written word\, and has curated exhibitions showcasing the essential role that books\, magazines\, and newspapers played in World Wars I and II. Before she became a professor\, Manning worked in the New York federal courts for 13 years. She earned a BA and an MA in American History\, an MA in Museum Studies from NYU\, and a JD from the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law. \nAccessibility Note: Masks and clear masks are available free of charge at the museum. Assistive listening devices and stools are available. ASL (American Sign Language) interpretation or a CART (Communication Access Realtime Translation) is also available upon request. Please contact access@posterhouse.org or (914) 295-2387 to request interpretation services and to address any other accessibility needs.

SUMMARY:Members-Only Last Look: Reading Under Fire
DESCRIPTION:Poster House members are invited to a private “Last Look” tour of the exhibition Reading Under Fire: Arming Minds & Hearts During Wartime led by curator Molly Manning.  \nDuring World Wars I and II\, nearly every combatant nation recognized that reading material was necessary to the wellbeing and morale of its soldiers—and books soared in popularity. Between lulls in action or when waiting for orders far from the front lines\, the troops read to forget their surroundings and fears\, taking a mental vacation from their hardships. \nThis exhibition includes book-related posters from the United States\, Great Britain\, Canada\, and Germany printed during both world wars. All of these nations relied on public book donations and fundraising to supply soldiers with books\, and many posters were designed to encourage such civilian contributions. \nLight refreshments will be served. \nAccessibility Note: Masks and clear masks are available free of charge at the museum. Assistive listening devices and stools are available. ASL (American Sign Language) interpretation or a CART (Communication Access Realtime Translation) is also available upon request. Please contact access@posterhouse.org or (914) 295-2387 to request interpretation services and to address any other accessibility needs. For other event-related questions\, please contact info@posterhouse.org.

SUMMARY:Members-Only First Look: Just Say Nyet
DESCRIPTION:Poster House members are invited to a private “First Look” tour of the exhibition Just Say Nyet: The Soviet Battle Against Booze led by curator B.A. Van Sise.  \nIn the waning days of Soviet Russia\, its leader\, Mikhail Gorbachev\, made a last\, desperate attempt to curb his nation’s rampant alcoholism through severe restrictions and a broad-reaching\, exceptionally blunt advertising campaign. In appeals to their concern for health\, common decency\, emotional well-being\, and industrial production alike\, the government begged its people to give up the bottle. It did not succeed.  \nLight refreshments will be served. \nAccessibility Note: Masks and clear masks are available free of charge at the museum. Assistive listening devices and stools are available. ASL (American Sign Language) interpretation or a CART (Communication Access Realtime Translation) is also available upon request.
