MPL Through the Decades 150th Anniversary Party

Carnegie Library will host the final 150th anniversary party as part of our Sesquicentennial Celebration, and the event will coincide with the First Thursday festivities hosted by Muncie Downtown Development. 

Stop by to get your picture in the photo booth featuring cardboard Andrew Carnegie and our own Sasquatch-Centennial mascot, discover genealogy research with members of the Daughters of the American Revolution, check out photo exhibits to see the library's history through the decades, and kids can color Happy Anniversary cards for MPL. America's Hometown Jazz Combo, led by Dr. George Wolfe, will perform live throughout the evening. MPL Director Alan Kornblau will make comments at 6pm. 

Later, catch an incredible encore of the "Carnegie Lights" display outside with video animations projected onto the Carnegie Library exterior. The brilliant display was created by Ball State University students in the Muncie of Muses iMade immersive learning group under the direction of Professor Kevin Klinger. 

Light refreshments will be served. Have your yellow Sasquatch-Centennial Party passport with you to get your final stamp on the back and redeem it for a special souvenir prize (not required to attend the party). Refreshments and souvenirs will be available only while supplies last. The party is free and open to all ages.
