Toledo Library Launches Two New Story Sharing Initiatives
Posted on February 27, 2019
by Library News
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.
Community Photo Album
TLCPL is creating a community photo album to preserve the history of Toledo and Lucas County.
- Snapshots from your favorite family gathering
- Photos from a 1980’s cross – country vacation
- Instagram selfies from a festival, fair or ball game
- Historical sites and landmarks
Submit photos digitally or by mail.
Absolutely anything, so long as it is about Toledo, Lucas County or its residents!
Migration Story
The Library invites the community to contribute to the acceptance of the migrant communities that help make our city great!
