Voices of Mid-Mississippi
Help us fill a community time capsule to be opened at the America 300 celebration in 2076.
Time remaining until the capsule is sealed on July 2, 2026
What Is a Time Capsule?
A time capsule is a container filled with messages and small items from people today, preserved for future generations to discover.
Our capsule will hold stories and memories from residents across our five-county area and will remain sealed until 2076.
Your story will help preserve the history of our community and the role libraries play in connecting people and ideas.
📍 Where is it going?
Mid-Mississippi Regional Library Headquarters in Kosciusko, Mississippi.
✉️ What will we collect?
- What does America mean to you in the context of our local history?
- How has the library shaped your pursuit of knowledge and community connection?
We will also include bookmarks, photographs, and messages from local leaders.
