The Lititz Public Library, 651 Kissel Hill Road, is participating in "September 11, 2001: The Day That Changed the World," an educational exhibition that presents the history of 9/11, its origins, and its ongoing implications through the personal stories of those who witnessed and survived the attacks.

The poster exhibition was developed and is curated by the 9/11 Memorial and Museum and has been made possible in part by the National Endowment for the Humanities: Democracy Demands Wisdom. Told across 14 posters, the exhibition includes archival photographs and images of artifacts from the 9/11 Memorial and Museum's permanent collection.

It will be available for public viewing during the library's regular business hours throughout the month of September. Details on the exhibition are available at http://www.911memorial.org or by emailing press@911memorial.org.

Additionally, Nick Serikstad will display his Warren-Shay Military Collection at the library during regular library hours from Monday, Sept. 20, through Saturday, Sept. 25.

Serikstad grew up in Cornwall, N.Y., and moved to Lebanon in 2004, graduating from Cedar Crest High School in 2008. He is a career firefighter in East York and has been married to his wife, Emily, for three years. He served in the Pennsylvania Army National Guard from 2009 until 2015, earning his wings as an air traffic controller.

Growing up around the West Point Military Academy, Serikstad has always had an interest in military history. He started collecting in 2014 and has since created the Warren-Shay Military Collection with the goal of sharing the stories of veterans.

The exhibit will feature many local military artifacts once owned by veterans who served during World War II, such as uniforms, dog tags, medals, American field gear, flak protection gear used by U.S. airmen, and letters. Each piece is attributed to its previous owner.
