This donation will support the ongoing growth and development of the library, which holds the distinction of being the smallest town in Minnesota to boast a public library.

The recent addition, a long-awaited dream of the library board, has further enhanced the library’s offerings.

   The library’s new addition includes dedicated study areas, an expanded large print area, and a beautifully appointed conference room available for public use during library hours. These enhancements emphasize the library’s commitment to meeting the evolving needs of its patrons.
