If you would like to contribute, you can submit a personal story about your life or experience in Ottawa County. If you need writing supplies for this project, you can stop by the library to pick up a FREE writing bag filled with a binder, paper, pencils, etc to get you started. While supplies last. Deliver your story to the library or email it to librarystaff@miamiokla.net. You can also record your stories and our staff will transcribe them for the book.
