Welcome to Joplin Public Library Makes a Difference!!

Welcome to a new blog about Joplin Public Library! We all know that public libraries make a huge difference in the lives of people and that libraries enrich the communities that they serve. Sometimes though, it is important that we put faces to the changes and impact we have on people. This blog is to do just that. When one of our staff hears or observes how we have made a difference in someone's life, we've asked them to write about it so we can share it with others. Library staffers will not use patrons' real names in order to protect their privacy, but the the stories they tell will be true. If you have a story about how JPL has enriched or changed your life, write about it and send it to jpl@joplinpubliclibrary.org. We'd love to hear about it! Check back from time to time to see our stories.
