"Our mission at Humane Indiana Wildlife & Rehabilitation Center is to rehabilitate wildlife and release them back to their natural environment, once they’re healthy and are capable of surviving on their own. In some cases, however, due to injuries sustained before they were brought to us, it would not be safe to release them to fend for themselves. Fortunately for HIW, some animals remain in our care and become wildlife ambassadors. They help us provide wildlife education through our wildlife talks in our community, throughout the state, and during our kids camps." - Indiana Humane
Valparaiso Public Library is the largest branch of the Porter County Public Library System and sits just one block off of downtown Valparaiso. It was first developed in 1905, renovated in 1916, and demolished in 1994 in favor of the building in its place today. Acting as a pillar of communities both local and county-wide, the library offers an extensive collection of materials to its patrons, a wide variety of programming, large study rooms that can accommodate 100 people, and the Larry Clark Genealogy Center, which has been a staple in Porter County for almost 60 years.
