We are the Central Minnesota Libraries Exchange, a multitype system serving all types of libraries.

We are suggesting books you might enjoy for our Goodreads group: Armchair Travel to Minnesota State Parks. We give you a prompt connected to each state park, and you find a book to fulfill the challenge. You can use one of our suggestions, and you should feel free to read any book!

The Lake Shetek park was also established in 1937. 

“The word “Shetek” is Ojibwe for “pelican,” a bird which visits Lake Shetek during the summer and fall.” So let’s celebrate these birds by reading a book with a pelican on the cover or in the story OR a book published by Pelican Books. 

We give you links to each of these books on our show notes page, taking you to Amazon.com. If you click on any of them, and buy anything at all – including a nice book – Amazon will send us a small percent of the profits they made on these sales. Thank you for supporting CMLE!
