Walkable City Community Read: Congdon Park

Learn about the importance of walkability for creating healthy and successful communities. Attend one or all of the events. Visit a different Duluth neighborhood each month and focus on a new section of the book, Walkable City: How Downtown Can Save America One Step At A Time, by Jeff Speck (10th edition)

Copies of the book are available to check-out for card holders at the Duluth Public Library and in the UMD Library. There are three circulating copies of the book and a Book Club in a Bag kit available for check out. This kit includes ten copies of the book and a discussion guide. Duluth Public Library cardholders can also request this book through the interlibrary loan service using this link: Holdings: Walkable city : :: MNLINK. Contact the library anytime with help on making requests.
