Everyone has a story and sharing these stories with one another can help build real, personal connections and strengthen our community. The Toledo Lucas County Public Library (TLCPL) is dedicated to preserving the history of Lucas County with “Who We Are.”

Join TLCPL and share “Who We Are” through the Community Photo Album, Migration Story or the Share Your Roots programs.
