Supporting Children of Military Families

Area military families with preschool children have a new set of resources at the Oshkosh Public Library designed to help them face the challenges of deployment and stay connected with loved ones who serve. 

These books, DVDs and other resources address important issues such as staying connected with family members stationed far from home, expressing feelings, coping with deployments and homecomings and dealing with grief.These books, DVDs and other resources address important issues such as staying connected with family members stationed far from home, expressing feelings, coping with deployments and homecomings and dealing with grief.
