History As It Happens
Because we are now living in historic times, we would like to encourage all Harrison County residents to contribute to a file we will create about living in Harrison County during the COVID-19 pandemic. We are interested in your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Write either on paper or electronically, whichever is your preference. You can contribute as much or as little as you wish. Once we know when the library will re-open, we will announce that we are taking contributions. After the library has an opportunity to curate the documents this file will be available to the public.
Follow this link for prompts to help you get started http://cynthianalibrary.org/history-as-it-happens/. Check out our Facebook page throughout the rest of our closure for additional prompts.
