Veterans History Project
The Veterans History Project is a project created by the Library of Congress to document interviews of American veterans. As a part of the project the Sparta Public Library is actively conducting interviews of local veterans. We ask all veterans to consider being a part of this project. To qualify for the project you must be a former military veteran who had served in any capacity in the United States military, or a civilian who served in support of a United States war effort in a professional capacity. If you would like to ask about the project or sign up please visit the library at 211 W. Broadway, Sparta IL, call the library at: 618-443-5014, or email at: spartaillinoislibrary@gmail.com
