Passport Program @ Libraries in Northern WI.

Here, we know that picturesque Bayfield, on the shore of Lake Superior, is the gateway to the Apostle Island National Lakeshore, but did you know that the oldest Dairy Queen i Wisconsin can be found in Lake Nebagamon? Or that Sayner is the birthplace of the snowmobile? Northern Wisconsin is full of history, culture, and natural splendor—and this spring and summer, you can discover it all—with help from your local library!

Launching in late April, the Library Passport Program from Northern Waters Library Network invites you to stop at any Northern Waters library and pick up a passport. Make sure to bring your passport with you as you travel throughout northern Wisconsin this spring and summer and get a stamp at each library you visit. Collect 10 differrent stamps and you’ll be given an entry form to submit for a prize drawing! You can win gas cards, Wisconsin-themed travel books, road trip supplies, and much more!

The passports will contain a variety of “fun facts” about each library in the Northern Waters Library Network, including library and community attractions. So, if you visit the Bayfield Library with your children or grandchildren spend some time in our imaginative play area. If you visit the Shermin & Ruth Weiss Community Library in Hayward, make sure to check out the library’s half-mile Nature Trail with a

StoryWalk (r) and a four-season audio guide. And make sure to stop by Shell Lake Public Library on a Friday—that’s when they have popcorn!

Passports will be available to pick up at any Northern Waters library in late April. To find a Northern Waters library near you, go to the website: http://northernwaters.org/passport or find more information at your Bayfield Carnegie Library.
