Yes, we are moving temporarily to City Hall. Opening July 13th!
The library renovation project will be slightly delayed. We will still need volunteers to pack up the collection but not until later in this summer. Thanks to everyone who has already volunteered. We will keep your names on file and will notify you later this summer to see if you can still help when we get our dates confirmed. If you still want to help without specifically knowing the dates leave your name and contact info at the library. If you have any questions call the library at 507-645-6606 and ask for Debby or Laurie.

The MOVE (It’s temporary)

in December or January.
* City Hall is 6 blocks
south of the existing library at 801 Washington St.

will not be closing. Library services will continue at city hall.

will be removing all library materials– that’s over 65,000 items. That’s
not including desks, chairs, artwork, computers and shelves. It’s about
100 pallets or 5 semi loads going into storage.

items from the other libraries, please ask for a demo.

volunteer opportunities. For information contact Debby Nitz 507.645.1802
