If you have family letters from those in any American wars, you may visit with Mr. Carroll at the Library to determine if you would like to donate them to the Center for American War Letters.
In April, 2017 Andrew Carroll embarked on the "Million Letters Campaign" to seek out and preserve at least one million war-related correspondences from every conflict in U.S. history, from handwritten missives penned during the American Revolution to emails sent from Iraq and Afghanistan. He is traveling throughout the country and speaking at libraries, schools, historical societies, museums, veterans' organizations, military academies, civic clubs, places of worship, and similar venues to spread the word about why these writings are so important and, ideally, to encourage people to donate their war-related correspondences to "Center for American War Letters" so that they will be preserved forever.

He will make Grove his only stop in Oklahoma on this cross country campaign, in conjunction with the opening of his play in Grove, "If All the Sky Were Paper," which contains some of the most extraordinary war letters ever written. It opens Sept 15 at The Playmakers, 121 W. 3rd St, in Grove. Call 918 786 8950 for reservations and more information..or go to www.groveplaymakers.com
