Ball Center  No Charge—Reservations Required\nPlease register online at: https://commerce.cashnet.com/BALL_EMS057 (under “History”) \nDiscover the rich\, 150-year story of Muncie Public Library — a legacy shaped as much by the people of Muncie as by the books on its shelves. From its founding in 1875\, Muncie Public Library has been shaped by the vision\, advocacy\, and support of the Muncie-Center Township community. Residents pushed for the creation of a public library and later championed the development of neighborhood branches and forward-thinking initiatives. This program explores how the library has grown in response to the community’s evolving needs — from literacy and learning to access to technology and enrichment opportunities. At every step\, MPL has reflected the values and voices of Muncie\, continually adapting to serve as a dynamic hub for information\, innovation\, and inclusion. Come hear the inspiring story of how a community built its library — and how that library\, in turn\, helped build a stronger community. \nPresenter: Sara McKinley\, Carnegie Library Manager and Archivist\, Muncie Public Library URL:https://destinationmuncie.org/event/chapters-of-change-150-years-of-muncie-public-library/ LOCATION:E.B. and Bertha C.
