StoryShare
| Have you shared your family's story with IPPL yet? StoryShare is an oral history project in which community members are invited to interview family members while a trained IPPL volunteer operates the recording equipment. The interview theme is "family," and sample questions can be provided. Participants will receive a CD of the interview while the library keeps a copy to preserve for future generations. To make an interview appointment, call Joe Popowitch at 630/887-8760 ext. 240.
