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.

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.
