DISCOVER SOUTH BEND SERIES CELEBRATES LIBRARIES
As part of the yearlong celebration for South Bend's 150th anniversary, the monthly series
"Discover... South Bend" will host its fourth event Saturday, April 18 with two free presentations
at the St. Joseph County Public Library, 304 S. Main St. This month's theme is libraries.
From 10:30 am to 1:30 pm in the Library's Colfax Auditorium, "Preserving Photographic
Memories" will take place. Learn to preserve your own photographic memories with guest
speaker Joan Hostetler of Heritage Photo and Research Services. Hostetler will discuss
identifying historic photographs, preserving and organizing family archives, and digitizing
photographs.
From 2:30 to 4:30 pm, Hostetler will conduct a "Historical Photo Scan -a- Thon." Participants are
encouraged to bring photos from any time period in Indiana history to be scanned for "The
Indiana Album," an Indiana Bicentennial project with the goal of copying, cataloging, and
sharing historic photographs from all eras around the state.
In addition to these events, the SB 150 "Discover Libraries Scavenger Hunt" is taking place now
through Saturday. Participants may download an entry form at sb150.com/calendar /discover-
south- bend - libraries. Winners are eligible to be entered into a drawing for an SB 150 T -shirt or
mug.
