A Big Read Event

Librarian Meredith Vaselaar will present the Crime Spree that began as a simple way to break up the monotony of the winter months. Learn how the mysterious Crime Spree at the Library worked, how it took on a life of its own, and why the patrons, editor of the newspaper, Chief of Police, and County Judge, all joined in the fun.

Biography
Meredith Vaselaar is a life-long Librarian, currently serving as Branch Librarian in Adrian, MN. Vaselaar enjoys her work and tries to find interesting ways to promote the Library (such as the Crime Spree).  She lives in rural Nobles county with her husband. They have three grown children who, through no fault of their own, became “partners in crime” for the Library Crime Spree. When not actively participating in Library crimes, Vaselaar enjoys genealogy research and presents workshops on genealogy to library organizations, museums, senior groups, and historical societies.
