Library Roofing Project

Please pardon our construction.

The library building is currently having a new roof installed which at times can cause odors and loud noises in the building.  If you are sensitive to these smells or occasional loud noises, please consider visiting the library at another time.  If you are picking up a library item that is on hold for you and you do not want to enter the building during the roofing project, please feel free to call the library at 320-235-3162 and arrange a Carside hold pick up (you will need to provide your library card number over the phone and we will bring your items out to you at the street). 

We apologize for any inconvenience.
