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!

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!

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. Stop by the library to check out a copy of the book. For more information\, call 715-257-7292.
