This fall, North Olympic Library System staff collected more than a dozen audio interviews from area veterans as part of its ongoing oral history program, “Listen Up: Stories from the Northwest Corner.”

In honor of Veterans Day, NOLS will share those stories from 11 a.m.-6 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 10, in the Raymond Carver Room of the Port Angeles Library, 2210 S. Peabody St.

The audio-only interviews will be played in their entirety and visitors are welcome to stop in and listen for as long as they like. Light refreshments will be provided, and veterans-related library materials will be on display in the living room and available for checkout.

A “Listen Up” iPad listening station also will reside in the Port Angeles Library, where visitors may select the oral histories they’d like to hear.

The listening station will visit the Sequim and West End branches in 2017, library officials said.

The “Listen Up: Stories from the Northwest Corner” oral history program offers local residents ongoing opportunities to help tell and preserve the story of Clallam County for generations to come.

The program is inspired by StoryCorps, an organization focused on the collecting, sharing and preserving of oral histories.

Interviews are conducted between the participant and an interview partner, and later archived and made available for listening on the Washington Rural Heritage website.

Earlier this spring, NOLS partnered with Olympic National Park to help celebrate the National Park Service’s 100th anniversary, collecting 16 interviews about personal experiences in national parks by residents across Clallam County.

The veterans and park-inspired stories are archived and available for listening on the Washington Rural Heritage website, www.washingtonruralheritage.org.

Video compilation of some favorite stories also can be found on the Library website, at www.nols.org/events/listenup.html.
