Lost & found printed media in Joplin

Lost family photographs from Joplin trip

I lost a stack of photographs from a family album. I was leaving the Joplin Public Library steps on Main Street around 7:20 p.m. last Saturday when they slipped from my bag and vanished into the crowd. The prints range from faded black-and-white portraits to bright summer color—a handful from my grandmother's wedding and a goofy photo at Cunningham Park. They’re irreplaceable to me, and I’m aching for them to turn up. I keep replaying the moment I realized they were gone and hoping someone nearby picked them up and might recognize their importance.
