For generations, summer at Wagnalls has meant stories, discovery, and community.

This year, we invite you to “Unearth a Story”—a 7-week journey into reading, creativity, and hands-on exploration. 🪨📚

Each week is designed to spark curiosity, encourage learning, and bring families together in meaningful ways. From the youngest readers to lifelong learners, there’s something here for everyone.

You never know what you’ll find… a new favorite book, a hidden talent, or a story that sticks with you forever.

Let’s start digging! Sign ups start Monday, May 18th in the Children's Library.

The official publication date will be announced soon, along with details for a reception to celebrate this achievement.

We’re so excited to honor your creativity, voice, and hard work—stay tuned for more updates!

Just picked up this pin on eBay to donate to The Wagnalls Memorial archives. The historian at the Wagnalls Memorial said they’ve never come across one like it. Has anyone local seen anything similar before?
