Navajo Code Talkers

Woodbridge Main Library - Ground Floor Meeting Room

The Woodbridge Main Library presents Navajo Code Talkers, hosted by former US Marine officer and Vietnam combat veteran, Don Buzney on Tuesday, November 20, 2018 at 7PM. Don will explore the critical role a thousand year old language played in winning the war in the Pacific, during World War II. Don will trace the origin of their language, its specific use during the war, and the way in which the coded messages were transmitted without ever being detected by enemy soldiers. 

Woodbridge Public Library announces TEDxWoodbridge Public Library Events for 2018 - 2019

 
 
 
 
Launched in 2009, TEDx is a program of locally organized events that brings the community together to share a TED-like experience. Some of the best talks from TEDx events have gone on to be featured on TED.com and garnered millions of views from audiences across the globe. TEDx welcome an intimate audience for an afternoon or evening of highly-curated TED Talks revolving around a globally relevant theme.
 
TEDxWoodbridgePublicLibrary is a TEDx event designed to connect the community to spark community conversation about new ideas as Woodbridge Township celebrates its 350th Anniversary.  The library program credits the idea generated by Greenable Woodbridge, which began as a request to start a book club, but became an application to host a TEDx series.
