One of our goals is to help build a community of library people, across CMLE and across the state. So we like to host a variety of member events to encourage all kinds of library people to come together, have fun, and meet each other in person!
We have a few different programs going on, so be sure you are subscribed to our newsletter (every Friday!) or our social media to keep up with it all.
Check it all out below, and RSVP now! Comment below, or email to us at admin @ cmle.org, and let us know you are coming with us!
We will buy tickets for all CMLE members. (There is no reserved seating, and it is definitely a family-friendly event – so also feel free to buy your own tickets to bring kids, friends, neighbors, or anyone else who might want to have some fun watching some cool skaters with some awesome library people!)
WHAT are we doing? Attending the SCAR Dolls roller derby home event, against FORX Roller Derby team.
WHEN are we doing this this? May 18th 2019 “Most home games have a start time of 6pm with doors opening at 5pm, but please visit our facebook page to find more detailed information as it can vary per game.”
WHERE is this excitement? The River’s Edge Convention Center in St. Cloud Minnesota.
Wait, What? Who are these people?? “The S.C.A.R. Dolls are the one, the only, the original women’s flat track roller derby league in Central Minnesota. We formed in 2011 to create an opportunity for the women in the Saint Cloud area to participate in the challenging, exciting, and empowering revival of modern roller derby.
Roller derby is currently one of the fastest growing sports in the world, with over 1450 amateur leagues currently in existence and new leagues are forming all the time. This is not the exhibitionist, pro-wrestling style derby of the 1970’s, but a fast-paced, hard-hitting sport that the women of the S.C.A.R. Dolls are proud to be introducing to this wonderful community. We are working hard to make our league competitive in order to represent Saint Cloud both home and away.
Besides being talented and tenacious athletes, the S.C.A.R. Dolls are dedicated to giving back to the community through charity partnerships and fundraisers.”

We’ll talk about libraries at some point during the evening, I promise! We wouldn’t want you to feel left out of any library-related fun. We can enjoy hotdogs, chips, cheering for the home team, watching kids run around and lose their minds with the excitement – it’s just some noisy fun for all!
