We Are Moving Back

The library has already started the task of moving back into its renovated building at 220 North Union Street, Kokomo, Indiana 46901. This picture is of our new patron entrance off the library parking lot. The Genealogy & Local History Department will close down September 22 and will begin to also move back "home". We have enjoyed our year in our temporary location, but it will be nice to be back together with our colleagues. While the department is closed for the move, be sure to visit our online resources at www.KHCPL.org/glhs and also the Howard County Memory Project at http://www.howardcountymemory.net/ . While we are closed, you can access Ancestry Library Edition by visiting our branch libraries - KHCPL South and KHCPL Russiaville. The public is invited to attend our Grand Opening Sunday, October 10 from 2:00-5:00 p.m. See you there.
