Go on a Free adventure without leaving the library!
It’s time to travel! Join us in the Cordingley Room at the Great Falls Public Library for another season of Armchair Traveler. On the first Thursday of every month from 6:30 to 7:30 pm, we will explore a different country, a different mode of travel, and even get tips and tricks to make your future trips successful. We will also have a snack that is reminiscent of every place in which we travel!
Thank you to the Great Falls Public Library Foundation for sponsoring this event!
The remaining 2025/2026 schedule is as follows:

Leigh Larson’s travels through Sweden!
Leigh Larson spent nine days exploring Sweden by train. Come learn about her time exploring Stockholm, staying solo in a Sami indigenous yurt, perusing cemeteries under the midnight sun, and reaching the Polar Circle. She’ll share about her experience stumbling upon a military ceremony, petting a herd of reindeer, and finding an American 1950’s themed diner in the middle of nowhere Sweden. She’ll share travel tips and Swedish facts while we chow down on some Swedish food.
January 8:
What happens when you let the universe book your flight? with Cortney and Kyle Reedy
Cortney didn’t dream about spontaneous travel; she lived it. One ordinary day, she strolled into the Salt Lake City airport, walked up to the ticket counter, and said, “Surprise me.” No plan. No destination. Just vibes.
With limited time and money but unlimited curiosity, Cortney boarded the first flight out because why not let fate be your travel agent? Join Cortney as she recounts her unscripted adventure.
