Regional Libraries

MnPALS

The Consortium of MnPALS Libraries is composed of all of the libraries of the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities, as well as private college and university libraries, state government libraries, public libraries, school libraries and special libraries. Geographically, the consortium is represented in all areas of the state from Marshall to International Falls and from Winona to Moorhead. Consortium membership provides a forum for discussion of library issues and a central site to coordinate collaborative efforts. Libraries have found that many things become possible as a member of the consortium that wouldn’t be otherwise. The Consortium of MnPALS Libraries is a prime example of libraries cooperating and collaborating to best meet the needs of their patrons.
