Great River Children’s Museum • Saint Cloud, MN

Great River Children’s Museum (GRCM) and Great River Regional Library System (GRRL) are partnering to create The Rural Library Traveling Exhibit Project. The project’s purpose is to provide a rotating exhibit experience at the rural libraries of GRRL. GRCM is an emerging children’s museum in Central Minnesota, that supports hands-on learning and play inspire children and families to learn and grow together. The focus of this grant is the creation and implementation of a traveling pop-up exhibit that would initially travel to the 21 library branches that are considered rural and low-income. The goals include reaching children and their families with new and engaging content that would otherwise be inaccessible to them. Each pop-up exhibit will have hands-on activities that reflect the more extensive exhibits at the museum in Saint Cloud.
