OUR CITY. OUR STORIES. OUR LIBRARY. Duluth Reads Together is a citywide celebration of books, community, and the Duluth Public Library, held September 18–20 as part of Minnesota Libraries Read Together. Throughout the weekend, readers of all ages will be invited to gather at Duluth Public Library locations and partner businesses across the city. Together, these events will create a book and library crawl that encourages people to explore Duluth, experience welcoming community spaces, and discover more of what the library has to offer. No matter where we gather or what we read, we will celebrate the stories that connect us and the library that helps make those connections possible. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 18: The Silent Set: All-Day Silent Reading Party DPL Mount Royal Branch, 10 AM to 2 PM Create your own bookmark, find a comfortable place to settle in, and enjoy reading alongside others at this relaxed all-ages celebration…
Celebrate the process of making art! Sign up for a 10-minute session to record an overhead video of your hands drawing, sketching, painting, or creating using our overhead phone mount. No need to be camera ready, the focus stays on the artwork and the hands that make it. All you need to bring is your artwork and your smart phone. You’ll leave with a unique short video capturing your creative process to keep for yourself or to share with friends and family. Funded by the National Endowment for the Arts
