Celebrate Kalamazoo Public Library’s 150th Anniversary

Kalamazoo Public Library will celebrate its 150th Anniversary in the fall of 2022. We are asking our community to join us in the celebration by sharing your KPL memories with us. Do you have family photos of your parents visiting the library as children? Has your favorite KPL location impacted your life in a positive way? Do you remember when the branches were built? If so, share your KPL story with us!

Visit Be Part of Our History page and choose how you would like to share your story. You can upload photos (please provide a caption that includes a brief description of the photo and the approximate date it was taken), type your story, record your story from the comfort of your home, or, all of the above! Your photos and videos may be featured as part of our 150th Anniversary Celebration!

Join the celebration today!
