Start and end dates at all the libraries may change due to weather, venue hours and other circumstances that may prohibit travel. It is recommended that visitors check with the specific library they are planning to visit regarding its hours of operation, especially if arriving in large groups.
The Traveling Art Exhibit, which was canceled last year due to the pandemic, has been displayed earlier this fall at public libraries in Hallock, Ada and East Grand Forks.
