Libraries plan fair booths and Earth Day tree activities for 2026

Bayfield County Library Committee · August 11, 2026

Summary

Committee members discussed libraries’ participation in the Bayfield County Fair and a Free Trees for Earth Day program; Iron River Library shared prior booth activities and proposed a forester-led planting demonstration for children.

Committee members discussed outreach activities for 2026, including encouraging county libraries to apply for booths at the Bayfield County Fair and taking part in a Free Trees for Earth Day program in April.

Jeff Holte said organizations outside 4‑H can participate in the county fair and noted the Iron River Library had a booth last year; Jacqueline Pooler described the Iron River booth activities and suggested ideas for 2026. Holte also said an organization associated with the SEED Program is giving away trees for Earth Day; Pooler said Iron River would like a forester to visit to teach children how to plant trees and read age-appropriate literature about tree life cycles. Libraries interested in participating were asked to contact Iron River Library.

No formal votes or budget allocations for these outreach efforts were recorded in the minutes.
