You Are Living a Chapter of History

Help Harrison County Public Library make a permanent record from this historic time of the Covid-19 Pandemic by Telling Your Story!

All across the world, people are Staying Safe at Home. It is different and difficult to change how we go to school, how we see our friends and how we live our daily lives.

We are asking the children and students from all around Harrison County to fill out this booklet and return it to any of our branches. (You may use the Book Drop, just make sure that your pages are stapled together.) At the end of the summer in 2020, we will put everyone’s booklets together to make one book. This will be scanned and stored by our Genealogy Branch and placed into a time capsule.

Please fill in these pages to share with your community. You may also include additional pages:

Photos from this time. A journal of your days. Any artwork. Special memories.

Parents, We hope that you will help your child complete this booklet and return it to the library to be a part of Harrison County’s permanent historical record. We are asking older children and adults to record their thoughts, feelings and experiences through our website under the “Tell Us Your Story Page” at https://hcpl.lib.in.us/tell-your-covid-19-story/ If you wish to submit your story by paper, just write it down and drop it off in one of our Book Drops.

Sincerely, Alisa Burch Director Harrison County Public Library
