Hello to anyone from St Joseph County, Indiana. I have a request.
I spent time in the area and I remember the kids section of the library being INCREDIBLY cool. The main library had a Travel theme with luggage outside and trains you could sit in and read inside the kids area. Another one that I went to more often had a full on fake forest with trees you could go into with books displayed outside, a fake brook that had stepping stones and a bridge you could use to cross, and I think paintings on the walls too. Like it just felt very cosy. So I was reminiscing to a friend about it who works for a library and it turns out... that is really unique. And they are doing some work on their kids area soon. If anyone has any other memories, photos, news articles, etc of the St Joseph Public Library starting around 2001 but up to maybe 2023, if you could either reblog this with them or message me with it, I would be INCREDIBLY grateful.
