Grand Marais Public Library Hosts Free Beaded-Bookmark Workshop March 11

Grand Marais Public Library will host a free, hands-on Beaded Bookmark workshop at 6 p.m. Wednesday, March 11, led by the library’s new Adult Services Librarian, Chris, the North Shore Journal noted in a community notice published March 4, 2026.

The library’s announcement invites attendees to "Create a unique glass and metal beaded bookmark." The page makes clear that "Supplies will be provided, and participants are encouraged to design a bookmark that reflects their own style," and it markets the session as "Free, hands-on, open to all skill levels."

Library copy frames the session as the new librarian’s first program at Grand Marais. "Meet the new librarian while learning some basic beading techniques from her at her debut whorkshop," the announcement reads, and a community excerpt adds, "During her debut workshop, she will introduce you to the basic tools and basic techniques needed to create a metal and glass beaded bookmark."

The announcement sets age and safety guidance for the project. "All skill levels are welcome. Geared for ages 10 and up. Adult supervision will be required for younger attendees as sharp tools will be used," the library states, reflecting that the workshop will include metalworking- and beading-related tools and that younger participants should attend with a guardian.

The Beaded Bookmark notice appears on the Grand Marais Public Library page alongside other seasonal content, including a nearby heading that reads "WInter reading program is here!" and the library’s stated Focus Area 4: "The Library provides service to underrepresented and underserved parts of the county. Every community member feels welcome and encouraged to take advantage of library services that meet their needs." Some aggregator copies of the notice repeat event details but are truncated in the available captures, with Boreal showing a fragment that reads "this event is part of our winter" and Northshorejournal Co ending mid-sentence; the library page itself repeats the Beaded Bookmark workshop block multiple times in the captured copy.

The posted materials do not include a last name or contact for Chris, nor do they list registration instructions, capacity limits, or accessibility details in the captured text. The Grand Marais Public Library’s own announcement and the North Shore Journal community notice together confirm the workshop will take place Wednesday, March 11 at 6:00 p.m., will provide supplies, and will welcome participants across skill levels as part of the library’s stated effort to reach underrepresented and underserved parts of the county.
