NEW FEATURE: AUTO RENEWAL

The Albert Lea Public Library now has automatic renewal for physical library items.

Four days before the due date, the system will automatically renew all eligible physical items. If you receive email notifications, you will receive a notice alerting you as to whether or not the items were renewed (if you get text message notifications, you will receive texts once text notifications are set up in the new system).

You can still manually renew items over the phone or by logging into your account on our catalog or the SELCO Libraries app.

The use of MNLINK, our statewide interlibrary loan service, has now been restored following a temporary pause due to our software migration. You can now place items on request and view your current requests. For the time being, requests are limited to three active requests at a time.

What is MNLINK? MNLINK provides equitable and shared access to library resources for all Minnesotans. If we do not have an item in our regional system, Albert Lea Public Library patrons are able to request items from other libraries in Minnesota.

📢 Public Service Announcement regarding non-emergency calls to Dispatch 📢

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Non-Emergency Phone Lines Temporarily Down ⚠️
Please be aware that our non-emergency telephone lines have been out of service since this morning.

🚨 If you have an EMERGENCY requiring immediate assistance from law enforcement, fire, or medical services, PLEASE CONTINUE TO DIAL 911.

For non-urgent matters, we ask that you consider the immediacy of your need. If it can reasonably wait, we would appreciate you calling once our lines are back up. However, if you feel it's important to report your non-emergency situation now, please use your best judgment and call rather than waiting.

We are working hard to fix this issue and will let you know as soon as our non-emergency lines are working again.

Thank you for your understanding!

Looking to rent? Do your research! Scammers have been targeting rental properties by stealing online photos, creating fake listings and then collecting sensitive information.

To ensure a rental listing is legitimate check Freeborn County Beacon (beacon.schneidercorp.com) or contact ALFR to verify the listing agent's credentials. Other tips are to meet the landlord or agent in person, verify their identity before providing information and do not give financial or personal details out over the phone.
