Project Overview

This ongoing program partners with local bookstores and Minnesota authors to enlighten our community through the literary arts. The community celebration of the Summer Solstice would take place on June 20, 2024, in the parking lot between our MN Reads partner Zenith Books and Wussow's Concert Cafe, both independent, locally owned business. The event would feature multiple bands, including Duluth native Gaelynn Lea.

Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

WDSE-FM will partner with a variety of Minnesota authors to enhance the literary integrity of our communities and grow our culture by bringing to the public information that these authors have worked hard to develop and express through an ongoing series of at least 40 interviews per year that are aired and then made available online through WDSE-FM platforms.
