has traveled to more than ten Hennepin County Libraries.  Experience the
Circus Manduhai family circus from Mongolia as they perform foot juggling,
hand balancing and acrobatics.  Enjoy snacks, stories and circus fun!

The culture display is myths and facts of immigrants living in the United
States.  This display has traveled through 16 of the Hennepin County
Libraries for the last three years and it's is now old and outdated.  This
event is kind of an official retirement party for it.  It was at Brookdale
library in March of last year.  The people in the display will be on hand to
talk about their journey and at the same time, the Manduhai family circus
will be performing.  This event will be FUN, FUN for both adult and kids.

This is joint collaboration event with Hennepin County/ Office of
Multi-Cultural Services taking the lead, HCL is hosting, and funded by the
Library Foundation of Hennepin County.
