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!
