We are the Central Minnesota Libraries Exchange, a multitype library system serving all types of libraries.
This season 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!
In this week’s discussion, we are exploring the Flandrau State Park This is another park established in 1937.
“During part of the 1940s, the park was used as a World War II German prisoner-of-war camp.” Read a book set in Germany or with German characters or elements.
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!
