Libraries along the MN River Valley including Henderson, Le Sueur, St Peter, New Ulm and North Mankato welcomed visiting, neighboring patrons into their library. The goal was to have patrons travel to other libraries they normally don't visit. On Saturday October 11 each library offered activities, treats or entertainment, and scenic stops. These activities included coffee and donuts, hot apple cider, a leaf craft, musical entertainment with David Greiser, speaker Arn Kind, and a star wars craft and read day.
