In 2026\, libraries across the country will invite readers of all ages to “Unearth a Story\,” a theme inspired by the wonder of dinosaurs\, paleontology\, and archaeology. These fascinating subjects tap into a natural sense of curiosity and imagination\, encouraging kids and families to ask questions\, explore the past\, and uncover something new. It’s also an invitation to dive into great books\, discover hidden stories\, and explore the ideas and experiences that shape our world. \nOur summer programming has something for all ages\, but it is especially geared towards school-age children\, tweens and teens. \nVisit your library in June to pick up an activity book! Inside you’ll find a complete listing of our summer activities and performances. The activity book also includes puzzles\, a coloring page\, and our summer reading program. \n\n\n \n \n \n 75 events found. \n \n \n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n\n \n\n\n \n \n\n \n \n\n \n Events\n\n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n \n\n\n \n Today\n\n \n \n \n \n 2026-06-01 \n \n Mon.\, June 1 \n \n - \n \n \n 2026-06-16 \n \n Tue.\, June 16 \n \n \n \n\n \n \n Select date. \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n\n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n June 2026 \n \n\n\n \n\n \n \n \n Mon \n \n 1 \n \n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n \n\n \n \n \n Summer Library Program (SLP) \n\n \n \n Mon.\, June 1–Mon.\, August 31 \n \n \n \n All MCPL Locations \n \n Marathon County\, WI\, United States \n \n  \n +9 more\n\n \n\n \n We are celebrating the “Unearth a Story” theme through our activity book\, summer performances\, craft activities\, book displays and more!

In her unmistakable voice (no one tells a story like Ina)\, she brings her past and her process to life in a high-spirited and no-holds-barred memoir that chronicles decades of personal challenges\, adventures (and misadventures) and unexpected career twists\, all delivered with her signature combination of playfulness and purpose. \nFrom a difficult childhood to meeting the love of her life\, Jeffrey\, and marrying him while still in college\, from a boring bureaucratic job in Washington\, D.C.\, to answering an ad for a specialty food store in the Hamptons\, from the owner of one Barefoot Contessa shop to author of bestselling cookbooks and celebrated television host\, Ina has blazed her own trail. Now\, she invites them to come closer to experience her story in vivid detail and to share the important life lessons she learned along the way. \nEveryone is welcome to join the discussion. Stop by the library to check out a copy of the book. For more information\, call 715-443-2775.

This June\, we will discuss “The Summer Pact” by Emily Giffin. \nFour freshmen arrive at college from completely different worlds: Lainey\, a California party girl with a flair for drama; Tyson\, a brilliant scholar and law school hopeful from D.C.; Summer\, a recruited athlete and perfectionist from the Midwest; and Hannah\, a mild-mannered southerner who is content to quietly round out the circle of big personalities. Soon after moving into their shared dorm\, they strike up a conversation in a study lounge\, and the seeds of friendship are planted. As their college years fly by\, their bond intensifies and the four become inseparable. But as graduation nears\, their lives are forever changed after a desperate act leads to tragic consequences. Stunned and heartbroken\, a pact is made to be there for each other in their time of need\, no matter how separated they are by circumstances or distance. Ten years later\, Hannah is anticipating what should be one of the happiest moments of her life when everything is suddenly turned upside down. Calling on her closest friends\, it soon becomes clear that they are facing their own crossroads. True to their promise\, they agree to take a time out from lives headed in wrong directions and embark on a journey of self-discovery\, forgiveness\, and acceptance. \nNo registration is required\, and all are welcome!

He continues to feel that a piece of him has been left in the sky\, forever tied to the plane and all of his fellow passengers.

This June\, the group will discuss “Jefferson’s Daughters: Three Sisters\, White and Black\, in a Young America” by Catherine Kerrison. Thomas Jefferson had three daughters: Martha and Maria by his wife\, Martha Wayles Jefferson\, and Harriet by his slave Sally Hemings. In Jefferson’s Daughters\, Catherine Kerrison\, a scholar of early American and women’s history\, recounts the remarkable journey of these three women—and how their struggle to define themselves reflects both the possibilities and the limitations that resulted from the American Revolution. Although the three women shared a father\, the similarities end there. \nThe eventful lives of Thomas Jefferson’s daughters provide a unique vantage point from which to examine the complicated patrimony of the American Revolution itself. The richly interwoven story of these three strong women and their fight to shape their own destinies sheds new light on the ongoing movement toward human rights in America—and on the personal and political legacy of one of our most controversial Founding Fathers. \nEveryone is welcome to join the discussion.

Her beauty leads to a starring role in a controversial film and marriage to a powerful Austrian arms dealer\, allowing her to evade Nazi persecution despite her Jewish heritage. But Hedy is also intelligent. At lavish Vienna dinner parties\, she overhears the Third Reich’s plans. One night in 1937\, desperate to escape her controlling husband and the rise of the Nazis\, she disguises herself and flees her husband’s castle. She lands in Hollywood\, where she becomes Hedy Lamarr\, screen star. But Hedy is keeping a secret even more shocking than her Jewish heritage: she is a scientist. She has an idea that might help the country and that might ease her guilt for escaping alone—if anyone will listen to her. \nNo registration is required\, and new people are always welcome!

This July\, the group will discuss “The Names” by Florence Knapp. \nCan a name shape the course of a life? In the wake of a catastrophic storm\, Cora sets off with her nine-year-old daughter\, Maia\, to register the birth of her son. Her husband\, Gordon\, respected in the community but a controlling presence at home\, intends for her to follow a long-standing family tradition and name the baby after him. But when faced with the decision\, Cora hesitates… \nSpanning thirty-five years\, what follows are three alternate and alternating versions of their lives\, shaped by Cora’s last-minute choice of name. Full of hope\, this is the story of three names\, three versions of a life\, and the infinite possibilities that a single decision can spark. It is the story of one family and love’s endless capacity to endure\, no matter what fate has in store. \nEveryone is welcome to join the discussion.

This July\, we will discuss “French Braid” by Anne Tyler. \nThe Garretts take their first and last family vacation in the summer of 1959. They hardly ever venture beyond Baltimore\, but in some ways they have never been farther apart. Mercy has trouble resisting the siren call of her aspirations to be a painter\, which means less time keeping house for her husband Robin. Their teenage daughters\, steady Alice and boy-crazy Lily\, could not have less in common. Their youngest\, David\, is already intent on escaping his family’s orbit\, for reasons none of them understands. Yet as these lives advance across decades\, the Garretts’ influence on one another ripples unmistakably through each generation\, much like French-braided hair keeps its waves even after it is undone. \nNo registration is required\, and all are welcome!

This July\, we will discuss “Sharp Objects” by Gillian Flynn. \nFresh off a brief stay at a psych hospital\, reporter Camille Preaker faces a troubling assignment: she must return to her tiny hometown to cover the murders of two preteen girls. For years\, Camille has hardly spoken to her neurotic\, hypochondriac mother or to the half-sister she barely knows: a beautiful thirteen-year-old with an eerie grip on the town. Now\, installed in her old bedroom in her family’s Victorian mansion\, Camille finds herself identifying with the young victims—a bit too strongly. Dogged by her own demons\, she must unravel the psychological puzzle of her own past if she wants to get the story—and survive this homecoming. \nEveryone is welcome to join the discussion.

This July\, the group will discuss “The Boxcar Librarian” by Brianna Labuskes. \nWhen Works Progress Administration (WPA) editor Millie Lang finds herself on the wrong end of a potential political scandal\, she’s shipped off to Montana to work on the state’s American Guide Series—travel books intended to put the nation’s destitute writers to work. Millie arrives to an eclectic staff claiming their missed deadlines are due to sabotage\, possibly from the state’s powerful Copper Kings who don’t want their long and bloody history with union organizers aired for the rest of the country to read. But Millie begins to suspect that the answer might instead lie with the town’s mysterious librarian\, Alice Monroe. \nMore than a decade earlier\, Alice Monroe created the Boxcar Library in order to deliver books to isolated mining towns where men longed for entertainment and connection. Alice thought she found the perfect librarian to staff the train car in Colette Durand\, a miner’s daughter with a shotgun and too many secrets behind her eyes. Now\, no one in Missoula will tell Millie why both Alice and Colette went out on the inaugural journey of the Boxcar Library\, but only Alice returned. The three women’s stories dramatically converge in the search to uncover what someone is so desperately trying to hide: what happened to Colette Durand. \nEveryone is welcome to join the discussion. Stop by the library to check out a copy of the book. For more information\, call 715-257-7292.

This July\, the group will discuss “Here One Moment” by Liane Moriarty. \nAside from a delay\, there will be no problems. The flight will be smooth\, it will land safely. Everyone who gets on the plane will get off. But almost all of them will be forever changed. Because on this ordinary\, short\, domestic flight\, something extraordinary happens. People learn how and when they are going to die. For some\, their death is far in the future—age 103!—and they laugh. But for six passengers\, their predicted deaths are not far away at all. How do they know this? There were interesting people on the flight\, but none would become as famous as “The Death Lady.” Not a single passenger or crew member will later recall noticing her board the plane. A few months later\, one passenger dies exactly as she predicted. Then two more passengers die\, again\, as she said they would. Soon no one is thinking this is simply an entertaining story at a cocktail party. If you were told you only had a certain amount of time left to live\, would you do things differently? Would you try to dodge your destiny? \nNo registration is required\, and new people are always welcome! For more information\, please contact us at 715-693-2144.

This July\, we will meet to discuss “Listen for the Lie” by Amy Tintera. \nWhat if you thought you murdered your best friend? And if everyone else thought so too? And what if the truth doesn’t matter? Lucy and Savvy were the golden girls of their small Texas town: pretty\, smart\, and enviable. Lucy married a dream guy with a big ring and an even bigger new home. Savvy was the social butterfly loved by all. After Lucy is found wandering the streets\, covered in her best friend Savvy’s blood\, everyone thinks she is a murderer. \nIt’s been years since that horrible night\, a night Lucy can’t remember anything about\, and she has since moved to LA and started a new life. But now the phenomenally huge hit true crime podcast Listen for the Lie and its too-good looking host\, Ben Owens\, have decided to investigate Savvy’s murder for the show’s second season. Lucy is forced to return to the place she vowed never to set foot in again to solve her friend’s murder\, even if she is the one who did it. The truth is out there\, if we just listen. \nNo registration is required\, and all are welcome. Stop by the main desk at MCPL-Wausau to grab a book that’s ready to check out!

Rooted in social change\, she uses creativity as an intentional act of resistance\, healing\, and liberation\, sparking meaningful conversations about the systems that shape our world. This program is made possible through the Create Wisconsin Statewide Artist Grant Program to support creative projects of artists and performers across all 72 of Wisconsin’s counties\, and is supported by Ruth Arts. \nThis free event is open to adults\, with registration required\, opening July 8\, to secure your spot.

This August\, we will meet to discuss “The House in the Cerulean Sea” by TJ Klune. \nA magical island. A dangerous task. A burning secret. Linus Baker leads a quiet\, solitary life. At forty\, he lives in a tiny house with a devious cat and his old records. As a Case Worker at the Department in Charge Of Magical Youth\, he spends his days overseeing the well-being of children in government-sanctioned orphanages. When Linus is unexpectedly summoned by Extremely Upper Management he’s given a curious and highly classified assignment: travel to Marsyas Island Orphanage\, where six dangerous children reside: a gnome\, a sprite\, a wyvern\, an unidentifiable green blob\, a were-Pomeranian\, and the Antichrist. Linus must set aside his fears and determine whether or not they’re likely to bring about the end of days. But the children aren’t the only secret the island keeps. Their caretaker is the charming and enigmatic Arthur Parnassus\, who will do anything to keep his wards safe. As Arthur and Linus grow closer\, long-held secrets are exposed\, and Linus must make a choice: destroy a home or watch the world burn. \nEveryone is welcome to join the discussion. Stop by the library to check out a copy of the book. For more information\, call 715-443-2775.

This August\, we will discuss “Mountains Beyond Mountains” by Tracy Kidder. Doctor\, Harvard professor\, renowned infectious-disease specialist\, anthropologist\, the recipient of a MacArthur “genius” grant\, world-class Robin Hood\, Farmer was brought up in a bus and on a boat\, and in medical school found his life’s calling: to diagnose and cure infectious diseases and to bring the lifesaving tools of modern medicine to those who need them most. \nMountains Beyond Mountains takes us from Harvard to Haiti\, Peru\, Cuba\, and Russia as Farmer changes minds and practices through his dedication to the philosophy that “the only real nation is humanity”—a philosophy that is embodied in the small public charity he founded\, Partners in Health. He enlists the help of the Gates Foundation\, George Soros\, the U.N.’s World Health Organization\, and others in his quest to cure the world. At the heart of this book is the example of a life based on hope\, and on an understanding of the truth of the Haitian proverb “Beyond mountains there are mountains”: as you solve one problem\, another problem presents itself\, and so you go on and try to solve that one too. \nNo registration is required\, and all are welcome! Stop by the library to check out a copy of the book. For more information\, please contact us at 715-352-3155.

This August\, we will discuss “The House of My Mother: A Daughter’s Quest for Freedom” by Shari Franke. \nShari Franke’s childhood was a constant battle for survival. Her mother\, Ruby Franke\, enforced a severe moral code while maintaining a façade of a picture-perfect family for their wildly popular YouTube channel\, 8 Passengers\, which documented the day-to-day life of raising six children for a staggering 2.5 million subscribers. But a darker truth lurked beneath the surface—Ruby’s wholesome online persona masked a more tyrannical parenting style than anyone could have imagined. As the family’s YouTube notoriety grew\, so too did Ruby’s delusions of righteousness. Fueled by the sadistic influence of relationship coach Jodi Hildebrandt\, together they implemented an inhumane and merciless disciplinary regime. Ruby and Jodi were arrested in Utah in 2023 on multiple charges of aggravated child abuse. On that fateful day\, Shari shared a photo online of a police car outside their home. Her caption had one word: “Finally.” For the first time\, Shari will reveal the disturbing truth behind 8 Passengers and her family’s devastating involvement with Jodi Hildebrandt’s cultish life coaching program\, “ConneXions.” No stone is left unturned as Shari exposes the perils of influencer culture and shares for the first time her battle for truth and survival in the face of her mother’s cruelty. \nEveryone is welcome to join the discussion.

One of the darkest periods of the Great Depression\, the Dust Bowl era\, has arrived with a vengeance. In this uncertain and dangerous time\, Elsa Martinelli—like so many of her neighbors—must make an agonizing choice: fight for the land she loves or go west\, to California\, in search of a better life. The Four Winds is an indelible portrait of America and the American Dream\, as seen through the eyes of one indomitable woman whose courage and sacrifice will come to define a generation. \nEveryone is welcome to join the discussion.

This August\, the group will discuss “The Identicals” by Elin Hilderbrand. \nHarper Frost is laid-back\, easygoing. She doesn’t care what anyone thinks of her. She likes a beer and a shot and wouldn’t be caught dead wearing anything fashionable. She’s inherited her father’s rundown house on Martha’s Vineyard\, but she can’t hold down a job\, and her latest romantic disaster has the entire island talking. Tabitha Frost is dignified\, refined. She prefers a fine wine and has inherited the impeccable taste of her mother\, the iconic fashion designer Eleanor Roxie-Frost. She’s also inherited her mother’s questionable parenting skills–Tabitha’s teenage daughter\, Ainsley\, is in full rebellion mode–and a flailing fashion boutique on Nantucket in desperate need of a cash infusion. After more than a decade apart\, Harper and Tabitha switch islands–and lives–to save what’s left of their splintered family. But the twins quickly discover that the secrets\, lies\, and gossip they thought they’d outrun can travel between islands just as easily as they can. Will Harper and Tabitha be able to bury the hatchet and end their sibling rivalry once and for all? Before the last beach picnic of the season\, there will be enough old resentments\, new loves\, and cases of mistaken identity to make this the most talked-about summer that Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket have experienced in ages. \nNo registration is required\, and new people are always welcome!

This August\, we will discuss “The Book Club for Troublesome Women” by Marie Bostwick. \nBy early 1960s standards\, Margaret Ryan\, Viv Buschetti\, and Bitsy Cobb\, suburban housewives in a brand-new “planned community”\, appear to have it all. The fact that “all” doesn’t feel like enough leaves them feeling confused and guilty\, certain the fault must lie with them. Things begin to change when they form a book club with Charlotte Gustafson–the eccentric and artsy “new neighbor” from Manhattan–and read Betty Friedan’s just-released book\, The Feminine Mystique. Controversial and groundbreaking\, the book struck a chord with an entire generation of women\, helping them realize that they weren’t alone in their dissatisfactions\, or their longings\, lifting their eyes to new horizons of possibility and achievement. Margaret\, Charlotte\, Bitsy\, and Viv are among them. But is it really the book that alters the lives of these four very different women? Or is it the bond of sisterhood that helps them find courage to confront the past\, navigate turmoil in a rapidly changing world\, and see themselves in a new and limitless light? \nNo registration is required\, and all are welcome! Stop by the library to pick up a copy of the book. Can’t make it? Join us to discuss the same book for our evening book club on August 25. For more information\, please contact us at 715-687-4420.

This August\, we will discuss “The Book Club for Troublesome Women” by Marie Bostwick. \nBy early 1960s standards\, Margaret Ryan\, Viv Buschetti\, and Bitsy Cobb\, suburban housewives in a brand-new “planned community”\, appear to have it all. The fact that “all” doesn’t feel like enough leaves them feeling confused and guilty\, certain the fault must lie with them. Things begin to change when they form a book club with Charlotte Gustafson–the eccentric and artsy “new neighbor” from Manhattan–and read Betty Friedan’s just-released book\, The Feminine Mystique. Controversial and groundbreaking\, the book struck a chord with an entire generation of women\, helping them realize that they weren’t alone in their dissatisfactions\, or their longings\, lifting their eyes to new horizons of possibility and achievement. Margaret\, Charlotte\, Bitsy\, and Viv are among them. But is it really the book that alters the lives of these four very different women? Or is it the bond of sisterhood that helps them find courage to confront the past\, navigate turmoil in a rapidly changing world\, and see themselves in a new and limitless light? \nNo registration is required\, and all are welcome! Stop by the library to pick up a copy of the book. For more information\, please contact us at 715-687-4420.

This September\, we will discuss “Sense & Sensibility” by Jane Austen. \nMarianne Dashwood wears her heart on her sleeve\, and when she falls in love with the dashing but unsuitable John Willoughby she ignores her sister Elinor’s warning that her impulsive behavior leaves her open to gossip and innuendo. Meanwhile Elinor\, always sensitive to social convention\, is struggling to conceal her own romantic disappointment\, even from those closest to her. Through their parallel experience of love—and its threatened loss—the sisters learn that sense must mix with sensibility if they are to find personal happiness in a society where status and money govern the rules of love. \nNo registration is required\, and all are welcome!

In July 1913\, twenty-five-year-old Annie Clements had seen enough of the world to know that it was unfair. She’s spent her whole life in the copper-mining town of Calumet\, Michigan where men risk their lives for meager salaries—and had barely enough to put food on the table and clothes on their backs. The women labor in the houses of the elite\, and send their husbands and sons deep underground each day\, dreading the fateful call of the company man telling them their loved ones aren’t coming home. When Annie decides to stand up for herself\, and the entire town of Calumet\, nearly everyone believes she may have taken on more than she is prepared to handle. In Annie’s hands lie the miners’ fortunes and their health\, her husband’s wrath over her growing independence\, and her own reputation as she faces the threat of prison and discovers a forbidden love.

This September\, the group will discuss “The Women of the Copper Country” by Mary Doria Russell. In July 1913\, twenty-five-year-old Annie Clements had seen enough of the world to know that it was unfair. She’s spent her whole life in the copper-mining town of Calumet\, Michigan where men risk their lives for meager salaries—and had barely enough to put food on the table and clothes on their backs. The women labor in the houses of the elite\, and send their husbands and sons deep underground each day\, dreading the fateful call of the company man telling them their loved ones aren’t coming home. When Annie decides to stand up for herself\, and the entire town of Calumet\, nearly everyone believes she may have taken on more than she is prepared to handle. In Annie’s hands lie the miners’ fortunes and their health\, her husband’s wrath over her growing independence\, and her own reputation as she faces the threat of prison and discovers a forbidden love. On her fierce quest for justice\, Annie will discover just how much she is willing to sacrifice for her own independence and the families of Calumet. \nNo registration is required\, and all are welcome!

Tolkien DESCRIPTION:Join library staff and other book lovers for engaging discussions of books each month! This September\, we will meet to discuss “The Hobbit\, or There and Back Again” by J.R.R. Tolkien. Smaug certainly looked fast asleep\, almost dead and dark\, with scarcely a snore more than a whiff of unseen steam\, when Bilbo peeped once more from the entrance. He was just about to step out on to the floor when he caught a sudden thin and piercing ray of red from under the drooping lid of Smaug’s left eye. He was only pretending to sleep! He was watching the tunnel entrance! Whisked away from his comfortable\, unambitious life in his hobbit-hole in Bag End by Gandalf the wizard and a band of dwarves\, Bilbo Baggins finds himself caught up in a plot to raid the treasure hoard of Smaug the Magnificent\, a large and very dangerous dragon. Although quite reluctant to take part in this quest\, Bilbo surprises even himself by his resourcefulness and his skill as a burglar! \nThis event is open to adults\, with no registration required.
