Happy Fourth of July!

Whether you're enjoying a lakeside barbecue in Minnesota or marveling at the midnight sun in Alaska, we hope your Fourth of July is filled with joy, laughter, and a renewed sense of purpose.

Whether you're enjoying a lakeside barbecue in Minnesota or marveling at the midnight sun in Alaska, we hope your Fourth of July is filled with joy, laughter, and a renewed sense of purpose.

Whether you're enjoying a lakeside barbecue in Minnesota or marveling at the midnight sun in Alaska, we hope your Fourth of July is filled with joy, laughter, and a renewed sense of purpose.

Today, as we celebrate the birth of American independence, we extend our heartfelt gratitude and joy to our incredible collaborators and partners in Minnesota and Alaska. Your dedication, innovation, and spirit of cooperation have been instrumental in our collective success, and today, we honor the strong bonds we’ve built together.

Minnesota, with its vibrant cities, picturesque lakes, and welcoming communities, reflects the diverse and dynamic spirit of America. The commitment to excellence and teamwork we see from partners like the Minneapolis College of Art and Design and the University of Minnesota Duluth continually inspire us. Whether we’re brainstorming ideas or implementing groundbreaking projects, the synergies we’ve created together have made tangible impacts and are truly something to celebrate.

So, on this day of national pride and unity, let’s take a moment to appreciate the freedom that allows us to dream big and achieve great things together. Whether you’re enjoying a lakeside barbecue in Minnesota or marveling at the midnight sun in Alaska, we hope your Fourth of July is filled with joy, laughter, and a renewed sense of purpose!

Here’s to our shared accomplishments and the promising future ahead! Happy Independence Day, and thank you for being such invaluable partners.

Manitoba, Nunavut and Minnesota have been working together on a number of projects for a few years now. We’re thankful to them for their encouragement, support and partnership. We hope to see new adventures in the future!

Infrastructure to Interaction

Art Borups Corners 12 Jan 2026
Our commitment to an Open Access model was built on a simple belief: stories this important shouldn't be locked behind a paywall. Because we chose to remove those barriers, our books aren't just "available"—they are everywhere. We have successfully moved from a local initiative to a global cultural export, with our titles now sitting on digital shelves in over 426 locations worldwide.
