The Lake Agassiz Regional Library Sugarbeet Series is about the story of us.
Each exciting event brings us closer as a region by celebrating who we are and how we got here. These events showcase our culture, and our ties to agriculture.
Our valley has rich soil and a rich history. The marriage of land and those who work it dates back as far as our first settlers. From humble roots, the Red River Valley has grown into a region characterized by its quirks and kindness.
Lake Agassiz Regional Library proudly supports our rural Minnesota communities. Our libraries and LINK Sites serve as gathering spaces where anyone can pick up
a book and discover new worlds, or where neighbors can immerse themselves in the stories of their own back yard.
Each Sugarbeet Series Event is free and open to the public. Bring your family, your friends, your elders and your children. Experience our legendary region through music, history, writing, poetry, photography, comedy and magic.
Like the sugarbeets that tie us all together, we hope you emerge with new knowledge, grow with new experiences and harvest the sweet rewards the arts and our Minnesota cultural heritage provide.
Be sure to pick up an entire Sugarbeet Series Event Booklet at any of Lake Agassiz Regional Library’s 23 locations!
In November 2008, Minnesota voters approved a constitutional amendment to dedicate funds for Minnesota’s Outdoor Heritage, Clean Water, Parks and Trails, and Arts and Cultural Heritage. Under the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund (ACHF) Minnesota’s 300+ public libraries receive funding distributed through existing formulas to the 12 Minnesota Regional Library Systems to provide programs and services in four areas: arts (visual, performing and media), culture, literary and Minnesota history. The law states that these funds are intended “for regional programs and working with arts and cultural partners.”
