From the Grand Marais Public Library - June 6, 2022

The Grand Marais Public Library launches its Read Off the Beaten Path summer reading program on Saturday, June 11, 2022. Kids ages zero to 18 can choose between several ways of tracking their reading and learning activities and earning free books and other prizes. All the materials and instructions will be available at the library throughout the summer, so kids can start their chosen program any time. Families can also register online to have a reading log mailed to them at www.grandmaraislibrary.org/kids.php. 

In addition to reading logs, the library will have theme-related activities and special events all summer long, including:

• The Wundrous Readers Society: The Wundrous Readers Society meets on the lawn for lemonade, doodling, and reading aloud every Wednesday from 4-5pm. We’re finishing the third book in Jessica Townsend’s Nevermoor series, Hollowpox: The Hunt for Morrigan Crow. Missed the first two books? Don’t worry! We’ll catch you up as we go, or you can check out the audio or print books from the library. The series is aimed at ages 9-12, but all ages are welcome.
• Family Fun Outdoor Scavenger Hunt: Going on a hike or out to the lake with toddlers or preschoolers? Grab a scavenger hunt checklist from the library and build literacy skills while you play!
• Summer Outdoor Activity Booklet: Thanks to our friends at the Cloquet Public Library and Jay Cooke State Park, we have booklets chock full of nature facts, writing prompts, puzzles and coloring pages to enrich your summer adventures!
