Michigan based author Bill Jamerson will present a music and storytelling program about the Civilian Conservation Corps at the Pella Public Library on Thursday, April 4 at 6:30 p.m. 

The Civilian Conservation Corps was a federal works program created in 1933 by President Franklin Roosevelt in the heart of The Great Depression. During its nine year run, 49,000 thousand young men served in Iowa camps. CCC enrollees planted over 30 million trees in Iowa, built hundreds of bridges, erected over 2,000 miles of telephone poles, helped farmers by repairing gullies, terracing hills, providing fertilizing installing fencing and building outhouses.  

Jamerson's presentation includes telling stories, singing original songs and reading excerpts from his novel, Big Shoulders.
