Every diary tells a story worth saving. Join the American Diary Project to learn how personal journals become part of our shared history.
We’ll talk about our mission, how to contribute to the collection, and share fascinating diaries from our archive. Then it’s time to create. You’ll design a unique creative journal spread using a mix of materials like stickers, washi tape, stamps, magazines, and more. Supplies are provided, but you’re welcome to bring your own favorites. Free journals are available to those in need.
Kate Zirkle is the founder and executive director of the American Diary Project. She is an avid diarist and member of the Society of Ohio Archivists. She shares her home in Cleveland, Ohio, with her wife, dogs, and enough cats to earn her cat lady status.
Registration begins on Monday, May 11 at 9:00 a.m.

The Independence Branch began as a collection operated out of City Hall. After outgrowing that space, the library moved into its own facility and since 1992 the branch has been a part of the city’s municipal complex that includes a recreational facility and senior center.
