Minnesotans are gathering at libraries statewide to show their support for libraries! Join us to hear community leaders speak, enjoy music, check out a mini-book sale, and color a custom bookmark!

Minnesotans are invited to gather at libraries across the state to show support for all libraries and the vital role they play in our communities. This weekend marks the second annual Great Minnesota Libraries Read Together celebration!

Show your support at Moorhead Public Library by joining us for a library celebration featuring special guests Mayor Shelly Carlson, Senator Rob Kupec, and City Council Member Emily Moore. There will also be refreshments, music from local guitarist Chris Argenziano, a mini-book sale by the Friends of the Moorhead Library, and an opportunity to color a custom bookmark. Whether you stay for five minutes or several hours, your presence helps demonstrate just how much our community values its library. Stop by, say hello, and take home a little piece of library love!
