Children, Teens & Adults
Program Guide Contents:
The Mishawaka-Penn-Harris Public Library is a proud participant in Indiana’s Bicentennial activities.
Starting this fall and continuing throughout 2016, MPHPL will provide programming to help celebrate this
momentous occasion in our state’s history. The celebration starts this fall and includes a special presentation
from Dr. Mark Schurr, Professor of Anthropology at the University of Notre Dame on the Potawatomi and the Miami
in the Removal Period. The Removal Period (from A.D. 1795 to about 1840) saw the demise of the fur trade and
the development of new ways of life as Native Americans adapted to dramatic economic, social, political, and
ecological changes. Investigations of Potawatomi and Miami Removal Period sites in the Midwest have provided
new data that highlight the diversity of Native American responses.

We also haven’t forgotten our young Hoosiers! Teens in grades 6 -12 will explore the works of popular teen author
and Indiana native John Green. Children will learn about Indiana during the Civil War, make Indiana keychains,
and continue to pave their way to a healthy future by exploring learning skills through music.

Did You Know?
Indiana became the 19th
state on Dec. 11, 1816, when
President James Madison
signed the congressional
resolution admitting Indiana
to the Union.
Along the Indiana shore of
Lake Michigan, many unusual
plants, including prickly pear
cactus, lichen mosses,
bearberry and more than 20
varieties of orchids grow in the
Indiana Dunes area.
As of May 2013, there are over
553,000 Bicentennial License plates
on the road in Indiana.
Santa Claus, Indiana,
receives more than a half million
“Dear Santa” letters at Christmas
time every year. Santa’s little
helpers are sure to get them to the
North Pole in time for Christmas.
Garfield the Cat creator
Jim Davis was born in
Albany, Indiana.
