Bibliography of books pertaining to middle east, available at local public libraries.

BIBLIOGRAPHY/adult collection
Materials to reference in preparation for the Women to Women for Peace visit to Waupaca, WI, October 22-25, 2007
Public forum @ The Waupaca Public Library on Tuesday October 23, 2007

The following is a partial list of materials available at the Waupaca Public Library (you may have to request them from other libraries within the OWLS system). Many additional materials are available. You will need to access the library computers to do more research. None of these materials are recommended over another, this list is simply a beginning point for those who may want to become more informed about the history and ongoing issues in the Middle East. We hope that we can bring informed questions for the British, Israeli and Palestinian women who will be visiting us in October.
