That’s a wrap… or should we say a ROAR-ing success! 🦖

T. Rex (Kirbie) and paleontologist Aaron have officially wrapped up our 2026 Grand Forks County school tour for the Summer Reading Program. Together, they performed the Summer Reading Program skit at 14 schools, reaching an estimated 3,972 students, teachers, and caregivers along the way!

Thank you to all the schools who welcomed us for prehistoric fun, big laughs, and dinosaur-sized curiosity. See you at the library for a dino-mite summer!

Be sure to join the fun at "Unearth A Story" Summer Reading Program Kickoff Party this Saturday, May 30, from 2-4 p.m.

We're proud to partner with UND and RedRover Readers to bring this meaningful program to North Dakota. 💚

Through stories, discussion, and hands-on activities, children are building empathy, curiosity, and connection one page at a time. Thank you to Chelsea Hughes, UND students, and everyone helping create welcoming spaces for young readers to learn and grow at the library.
