As part of the Fargo Public Library’s “IditaREAD” Winter Reading Challenge, the library will host a screening of the movie “Togo” (rated PG) on Saturday, Jan. 27, at 1 p.m. at the downtown Main Library.
The film tells the incredible story of musher Leonhard Seppala and his team of sled dogs with lead dog Togo that ran the most miles of the 1925 serum run to Nome, Alaska, to deliver life-saving diphtheria antitoxin serum to the town. Of the 674-mile trek from Nenana to Nome, Seppala’s sled dog team ran 264 miles of the grueling journey. All ages are welcome to attend this screening and free popcorn will be served. Children ages 9 and younger must be accompanied by an adult. For more details, call the Children’s Services Department at 701.241.1495.
Fargo Public Library events are free and open to the public. For more information about the library, resources, services and a list of upcoming events, call 701.241.1492 or visit fargolibrary.org.
