Library Opens Doors to 9/11 Series

Bremerton

In the hours after the September 11th attacks, many Kitsap residents — stunned and unsure where to go — went to their local libraries.

As the fifth anniversary nears, Kitsap Regional Library is again inviting residents to discuss who we are as a nation, both before and after the attack.

The library is hosting live performances Sunday and Monday at all nine of its branches. Kitsap Regional Library has teamed up with Seattle-based Living Voices to produce the series, "We the People."

The event will not focus on the terrorist attacks. Instead, the library is commemorating the anniversary by exploring the region’s diverse population.

"We’re not going to show footage of the attacks," said library spokeswoman Audrey Newell. "We didn’t think that would really help anyone. We’d rather discuss who we are as Americans."

A common theme of the one-hour performances is immigration. On Bainbridge Island, for example, the performance will offer a look at the Northwest at the turn of the 20th century through the eyes of a young Swedish immigrant. In Kingston, residents will see what it was like during the 1930s and ’40s to be a Navajo girl struggling to keep her culture while living in a government-run boarding school.

"If you want to know who we are as a society, you have to know where we came from," Newell said.

Sure, lets not talk and remember the innocent thousands that died in horror, in crashing planes, in burning buildings, in smoke filled rooms, under tons of wreckage, or jumping out of windows hundreds of feet in the air.

Let's talk about who we are. Let's talk about diversity.

Shame....

Nothing is as effective as homeopathy.

I'd rather listen to an hour of Abba than an hour of The Beatles.
