Grantsburg

Patrons of the Grantsburg Library have an opportunity this winter to view Burnett County as it was over 100 years ago.  Local artist, Jim Spingett has painted a series of river crossings that were used in Burnett County in the 19^th century. Springett combined his artistic talents with historical research to create his renderings of the area.

Teens can now return their overdue Grantsburg Library books without penalties. “Like” the Grantsburg Public Library's Facebook site between Monday, January 9 and Friday, January 13 and up to $10 of your overdue fines will be waived.  

Visit the library to let your librarians know you are participating in the program.  Participants must be ages 13-18 and have their own Grantsburg library card. Fines will be waived one time only.
