Potential Service Changes:
After more than 50 years of providing Bookmobile service into Olmsted County, services may need to change.

County Commissioners are reviewing a Payment for Services proposal as part of this year's budget process, which comes after ending a 16+ year funding contract.

If the proposal (totaling $129,797) is not included in the 2027 budget, Bookmobile and digital content access will be impacted.

For the Bookmobile, it means service to Byron, Oronoco, and Dover-Eyota will end, starting in January 2027.
