On Saturday, September 20th from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM libraries across Minnesota will host The Great North Star Read Together, a statewide celebration of the heart of every community: our libraries. Users of all types of libraries are asked to drop in and read to show that Minnesotans are library supporters!
This all-ages event invites Minnesotans to show up, settle in, and support their local libraries by doing something simple and powerful—reading. Whether it’s five minutes or the full two hours, readers are encouraged to bring a book, grab a chair, and help shine a spotlight on the vital roles libraries play in our lives.
Why? Because libraries are more than buildings and bestsellers. They’re gathering spots, learning hubs for everyone, safe spaces, and cornerstones for informed, thriving communities. This statewide ‘read-in is a joyful way to show that we see—and need—our libraries.
Encourage your community to show up and read and celebrate our libraries!
There will even be a little friendly competition: the library with the highest attendee-to-resident ratio will get a shout out at the Minnesota Library Association (MLA) Conference in October.
Let’s remind Minnesota what libraries make possible.
Let’s fill the state with readers on September 20!
