The Minnesota Historical Society (MHS) has been working hard to create engaging, exciting programs that meet the needs of the library teen and family audiences. After spending time this past fall reviewing the results of children’s librarian focus groups and talking to library teen groups around the state, MHS is proud to unveil the Family & Teen Programming Catalog . |

The programs in this brochure are available to take place in libraries anytime between April and August 2012. Library staff interested in any of these offerings should contact their regional library system.
Maren Levad, Museum Outreach Specialist, would like to highlight one particular WOW program, What If? An Alternate History Teen and Family Day. For this special library day at the Minnesota History Center the MHS staff are encouraging library groups to visit from around the state. Featured at this Minnesota science fiction and steampunk event will be items rarely seen from the MHS library and 3-D collections, an “Ask a Writer” panel of Minnesota fantasy authors for aspiring teen writers, and a special pre-visit packet for all library bus groups.
As a look to the future, there will be a brand new adult programming catalog (Fall/Winter) to arrive sometime in May 2012.
