The McGregor Public Library welcomed a new shelter pavilion and outdoor furniture last week, made possible by a generous grant from the Upper Mississippi Gaming Corporation.

This project came together thanks to matching funds from Leo Keenan memorials from family and friends, a donation from Craig and LeAnn Watson, proceeds from the annual McGregor Library Book Sale, a contribution from the McGregor Public Library Foundation, volunteer hours from Thomas Sinclair, and a donation from Pat’s Electric.

Thank you to everyone who helped bring this outdoor space to life. Once warmer weather arrives, the pavilion will host programs, gatherings, and everyday use.

In the meantime, come use the furniture inside the library, and view the beautiful shelter outside ❤ (some additional photos in the comments)

Just one of the many benefits of reading: the human connection mentioned by James Baldwin here.

Self-awareness: Books can help us understand ourselves better.

Imagination & creativity: Reading offers exploration of cultures, ideas, and emotions that you might never experience otherwise. And can spark your own imagination!

Mental escape & rest: Sometimes reading is a way to slow down, recharge, and step out of everyday stress.

Growth & learning: Reading teaches us new things: history, philosophy, science, how people think. Lifelong learning!
