Main Street Ligonier

Our plumbing felt left out of our staff pool party and decided to make a pool of its own in the basement… we plan to have the issue resolved this weekend, but we’ll keep you posted!

We’ll miss seeing you, and sorry for any inconvenience! We need all staff hands on deck for some much needed R&R… at our staff pool party 🤗🌴

Sign up for hands-on learning for July 9th at 1:00 and 5:00 in our computer lab.
In 2024, the Community Foundation of Noble county awarded the Ligonier Public Library a grant of $13,000 from the G. Martin Kenney Fund to support a major newspaper digitization project. Over the last few years, the library has worked to digitize the Ligonier Banner newspaper that cover from 1858-1950. That’s nearly one hundred years of history! The library is partnering with local groups and the Indiana State Library to complete the project. The newspapers will then be searchable online through Hoosier Chronicles. This will make it much easier to search. The project is now complete, the library is offering classes for the public on how to find information and to use the site. We will have two separate times to join to get hands on with the online site!
Hoosier State Chronicles is operated by the Indiana State Library and funded by the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act. We seek to provide free, online access to high quality digital images of Indiana's historic newspapers by digitizing our collection, and assisting other organizations in making their collections digitally available. The Library worked with the Syracuse-Wawasee Historical Museum partnered with the Ligonier Public Library and the Noble County Community Foundation to help digitize the Ligonier Banner.
The museum was especially interested in supporting this project because the eastern side of Syracuse and Lake Wawasee historically had stronger ties to Cromwell and Ligonier than to Syracuse itself. As a result, the Ligonier Banner often covered eastern Lake Wawasee news and community events in greater detail than the Syracuse newspapers that are currently digitized.
