McLeod County Libraries  & McLeod County Historical Museum:

Bringing Books to Life Program

~The Pioneer Trunk~

Funded by the Minnesota Arts & Cultural Heritage Library Legacy Fund

The Bringing Books to Life Program -The Pioneer Trunk,  is a partnership program between the McLeod County Public Libraries and the McLeod County Historical Society and Museum.  This unique program focuses on the pioneer experience, through the use of the iconic pioneer trunk.  Three books , each targeted to a different reading level, but all telling a similar story, will be read/or excerpts read, by a costumed interpreter.   Museum artifacts that would have been like those read about in the book will be used, adding another level to the readers experience, helping to bring the books to life!
