MCPL Staff Development Day 2026 – Staff Oral History Project
-
Description
-
As part of Staff Development Day in April 2026, Mid-Continent Public Library staff were given the opportunity to record their responses to various prompts related to inspiration, empowerment, and connection. MCPL is built on the stories, memories, and lived experiences of the people who serve our communities every day. This collection contains the personal reflections that highlight the many ways libraries have shaped the lives of library staff; whether as employees, lifelong patrons, or curious kids discovering the world through books. These voices are an important part of Mid-Continent Public Library’s shared history, and their stories help illuminate the values that continue to guide the work they do.
