online submission form. Users may attach videos, photos or drawings to enhance their story.

âOur sesquicentennial is a time for us to reflect on our institutional history and the impact we have made in the lives of generations of Grand Rapidians,â says Director John McNaughton. âBut most of all, it is a time of us to say thank you to the millions of people who have walked through our doors. The library is a place for and of the people and our patrons are the center of all we do.â
