The Grand Rapids Public Library is having a yearlong sesquicentennial celebration that will culminate on its birthday on Dec. 21.
The celebration will kick off with My Library Story, where families can share their stories about the library with the Grand Rapids History and Special Collections Department. Patrons can share their memories through an online submission form and attach photographs, videos and/or drawings. The stories will be kept in the library’s archives and shared on GRPL’s website and social media channels throughout 2021.
Other celebratory items and events throughout the year include a commemorative GRPL library card, 150 books, movies and music, a read-a-thon, exhibits on the history of the library, pop-up pocket parks, special events and more. ....
