WEEKLY IN PERSON STORYTIMES RETURN TO ALL THREE DULUTH PUBLIC LIBRARY BRANCHES… OUTDOORS!

DULUTH, Minn. – Weekly in person storytimes are returning to all three Duluth Public Library branches this week. At the Main Library and West Duluth Branch, weekly storytimes will be held each Wednesday morning at 10:15am beginning on September 8th. At the Mount Royal Branch, storytimes will be held each Thursday morning at 10:15am beginning on September 9th.

Weekly in person storytimes were suspended in March 2020 due to COVID. Since March 2020, the Duluth Public Library has not held weekly storytimes at the Main Library or Mount Royal libraries. This summer, the library began hosting monthly in person, outdoor storytimes at the West Duluth Branch. The library also innovated to bring the public virtual storytimes and launched an extremely popular Storytime at the Park series, in collaboration with Duluth Parks and Rec.

Beginning this week, patrons can look forward to a full schedule of weekly in person storytimes at all three library locations.For safety, weekly storytimes at all three library branches will be held outdoors. At the Main Library, storytimes will be held outdoors on the library plaza. At West Duluth, storytimes will be held outdoors on the lawn. At Mt. Royal, storytimes will be held outdoors on the patio.

For storytime dates and locations, see the library’s online event calendar:
