Veterans Salute | Mid-Continent Public Library

Each year, MCPL recognizes the contributions and sacrifices of Veterans in our area with our Veterans Salute. Throughout the year we offer live online help resources through VetNow for Veterans, oral history interviews with Veterans on our MCPLMO YouTube Channel, and research resources for students.
