Phase 2 of the library renovation project is happening now! This phase includes the creation of small group study rooms, a small conference room, an expanded public computer lab with new equipment, a renovated Indiana Room, a refreshed Learning Center, new lounge seating and tables with data and electrical drops, new end panels, and new carpeting. During construction, many services for adults are limited. The reference desk and a limited number of computer stations have been relocated temporarily to the east lobby, outside the meeting room doors.

Do you enjoy helping others? Help us make a difference in your community! The Learning Center at the Michigan City Public Library is in need of volunteer tutors for children and adults. We have students needing assistance in the areas of: reading, math, high school equivalency, and learning English as a Second Language (ESL). All supplies and training are provided; we only need two hours a week of your time. You can make a difference with students of all ages! Contact Jessica Hoffmaster at 219-873-3043 or stop by the Learning Center for more information.

Support the library and honor someone special with a suggested donation of $20 to the library’s Endowment Fund. We will honor the designated person by placing a decorative bookplate imprinted with their name inside the front cover of a book. Arrangements may be made to dedicate other library materials as well. Donors can designate the general subject or a library staff member will help choose an appropriate topic. It’s a great way to pay tribute to special anniversaries, school or sports honors, birthdays, weddings or memorials.

The Endowment Fund is a sustaining fund designed to enhance programs and library services. It is supported by gifts from generous individuals, businesses and organizations. For more information, or to honor someone, contact 219-873-3049.
