A variety of upcoming programs are scheduled at the Old Bridge Public Library Main Branch, Route 516 and Cottrell Road.
The library will host a lecture titled “D-Day: The Longest Walk” at 2 p.m. March 19. Paul Zigo, director of the World War II Era Studies Institute, will discuss his book, “The Longest Walk,” the story of the 116th Infantry Regiment of the U.S. Army 29th Infantry Division from D-Day, June 6, 1944, to the capture of St. Lo, France, 40 days later. Discussion will focus on the regiment’s achievements after landing on Omaha Beach, which altered world history by turning near-failure on the invasion beaches of Normandy into success, ultimately leading to the Allied victory over Nazi Germany.
