An Update on the Becker County Needs Assesment

The Detroit Lakes Public Library recently conducted a Becker County community needs assessment to help guide its services, programs, and long-term priorities in the coming years.

Welcome to the Detroit Lakes Public Library! We hope you’ll stop by for friendly faces, helpful services and endless entertainment options.

Current Service Information:
The library is open! In accordance with the CDC:
If you’ve been fully vaccinated: To reduce the risk of being infected with the Delta variant and possibly spreading it to others, wearing a mask indoors is recommended.
If you are not fully vaccinated and age 2 or older: Masks are recommended.

Curbside Delivery:
Request library items by using the library catalog or by calling or emailing the library, then schedule a time to pick up your items. Other items, such as printing, are also available via curbside pickup.

Wireless Printing:
Want to print documents at the library from outside the library using your phone, tablet or laptop? We now offer wireless printing.

Book Drop Location:
The Detroit Lakes Public Library’s book drop is located on the exterior of the building to the right of the main entrance.

Legal Kiosk:
The library has partnered with Minnesota’s Legal Kiosk Project to offer community members the ability to apply for civil legal aid services, access legal resources, and, in some cases, attend online meetings with attorneys and remote court hearings in privacy. Learn more about the Legal Kiosk Project and make a reservation here.
