The Carnegie-Schadde Memorial Public Library of Baraboo presents its Summer Reading Program with the theme "Adventure Begins at Your Library." Central to this program is the Wisconsin Dugout Canoe Survey Project, the persistence of cultural traditions and technological ingenuity. It embodies the Wisconsin Idea by engaging local and national museums, historical societies, and tribal museums in this project that is documenting an important yet relatively rare form of material culture.
