Welcome back to Browsing Books! Let’s explore some summer time reading.

We are the Central Minnesota Libraries Exchange, a multitype 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!

Split Rock Creek State Park is in the Pipestone area of the state. (Don’t be confused with the very similarly named Split Rock park!)

This is the largest body of water in Pipestone County, an area famous for indigenous peoples coming to this area to gather. Let’s celebrate the history by reading a book about gatherings of people!

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!
