Updated information to check out will be in red.
Eveleth Public Library is closed to the public
during the current Covid-19 situation.
Patrons can contact the library Monday – Friday, 9:30 am – 4:30 pm for information during the closure, however no materials may be picked up at our location. All requests that designate Eveleth Public Library as a pick up point will be put on hold until such time as we are able to open or provide curbside service to our patrons. Patrons can request their items be picked up at another ALS member library. (See below for more specific information.)
The health and wellness of our staff and patrons is our main concern and the City of Eveleth did not make this decision lightly. Based on Governor Walz's Stay-at-Home order and earlier recommendations by the Minnesota Department of Public Health to limit the number of non-mandatory people in a public building, we feel this decision has been the best step to help deter the spread of COVID-19 in our community. As we move into "Stay Safe Minnesota" we will continue to monitor and act on those guidelines and recommendations as allowed.
Patrons can access the Arrowhead Library System's digital resources by clicking the button below. Now is a great time to check out the ALS ebook/e-audiobook portal Overdrive/Libby, read digital magazines from RBDigital, get Homework Help or JobNow Career Resources, solve an automotive problem with Chilton's, or use any of the other dozen free digital resources available on the ALS website.
If you do not have a library card and would like one, use the "Need a Library Card?" button to access the Arrowhead Library System Library Card Sign-up form. ALS will process your request, usually the next business day.
