Message from the Executive Director
It is time once again to thank all of the donors for their generous support in 2025! Donors from throughout our seven-county service area, and beyond, made significant contributions that enhanced library services and created opportunities for our communities.
Their generosity supported local Summer Reading Programs for youth, helped support a much needed new Moorhead Public Library and Regional Office in The Loop, and strengthened library collections for readers of all ages to enjoy for years to come.
We are deeply grateful for the individuals, families, organizations, and businesses who invest in our mission of enriching lives and strengthening communities. Your support helps us connect people to information, resources, lifelong learning opportunities and one another.
Thank you for helping make our
libraries stronger, and ensuring they remain essential community spaces for everyone.
Thank you for your generosity and commitment to the Lake Agassiz Regional Library system and the communities we serve.
Sincerely,
Liz Lynch, Executive Director
