Indiana Library Passport
Expiration: 4 years after purchase
With 236 library districts - and more than 400 individual library buildings - Indiana provides all Hoosiers with a path to knowledge. From outdoor library gardens to gem collections to the Rolland Center for Lincoln Research, Indiana libraries showcase many unique learning opportunities. This passport features 160 main libraries and branches to explore. With over 100 Carnegie libraries, Indiana has more than any other state. When participants check in to these libraries, they will be entered into a quarterly drawing for the chance to win a prize package, including, but not limited to, tickets to historical tours, sites, museums and theaters; architecture books; gift cards from local and national merchants; and confections. Beginning in 2023, participants will also have the opportunity to trade in earned check-in points for a limited edition Indiana Library Passport mug. This program is 100% free, however a gate fee will apply in order to visit the library at the Museum of 20th Century Warfare in Fort Harrison State Park in Marion County. All prizes are while supplies last.
This passport is valid for 24 months after sign up or until the Indiana State Library terminates the passport.

Shiojiri Room: The Shiojiri Room recognizes the sister city relationship between the cities of Mishawaka and Shiojiri, a city located in Nagano Prefecture, Japan. The relationship was established in 1972. The room tells the story of the 50 year plus relationship through artifacts, a brochure and a special video.
Heritage Room: The Heritage Room is rich in Mishawaka history. In 1914 the room was a freestanding building and housed the United States Post Office of Mishawaka. In 1974, the building became the Mishawaka Police Department and in 1998 it became part of the Mishawaka Library. During 2021 renovations the area was renamed the Heritage Room and the space is now designated as the official Quiet Zone at the Library. Five hand-crafted enclosed exhibit cases are on display that contain artifacts highlighting five Mishawaka businesses that have helped shape the Princess City.
