Northland Libraeries

One of the best things that families can do is - read! Eagle Libraeries are now located in all district communities and have books that families can borrow, read and return. (Remember – we call them “libraeries because we’re the Northland Eagles, and an eagle’s nest is called an AERIE (air-eee). Hence, a “nest” for books is a LibrAERIE.)

Libraerie  Outdoor Locations: Federal Dam City Hall, Boy River Community Center, Sugar Point Community Center, Kego Community Center, Longville Foodshelf, Mule Lake Store, Outing Library, and the Big Winnie General Store in Bena and these locations in Remer: School Playground, Remer Library, Bigfoot Gas and Gifts, The Rusty Busket, and the Northland Family Service Center.
