All MCPL Locations: Summer Community Journal
2026-06-01 - 2026-08-31 | All MCPL Locations, Marathon County, WI, United States
Teens are invited to share about their summer! Stop by your local MCPL location after June 1 and pick up a journal page to write about a summer adventure or something that you’ve enjoyed this season. At the end of the summer, we will bind all of the journal entries together so you can see what others in your community and across Marathon County were up to! Your journal entry must be appropriate and suitable for a general audience. On your journal entry you’ll include your first name, date, and MCPL branch location. If you’re completing our Teen Summer Reading Program, turn your journal entry in for a signature on your Dig Site by August 31.
This free event is open to teens, with no registration, just stop by any MCPL location to pick up a journal sheet (after June 1) and start writing! For more information, contact 715-261-7220.
