Help us repair the Little Free Music Library.

The Little Free Music Library that was donated to the IMHP last summer was recently vandalized. This unique Little Free Library has a focus of spreading Indiana music. We are working to repair it and restore it to a more secure location as part of a new interactive display inside the IMHP.
