QUESTIONS?

When you just have to know, and know the correct answer, ask a librarian!

CALL: 507-452-4860

The reference librarians find answers to your questions, reserve materials, 
and accept interlibrary loan requests by phone beginning at 10 AM 
everyday except Sunday. They also provide these services and many 
others in person whenever the library is open to the public. Since the library 
is a member of the SELCO, MINITEX and OCLC networks, 
the librarians can borrow materials from all over the United States for you.
