Duluth Library Visits

Mark Wilhelmi and I recently returned from a three day tour of libraries in Duluth and the Iron Range. I would like to break up the summaries in separate posts. This post will focus on our visit to Duluth Public Library.

We met with interim library director David Ouse, head of technical services Dave Lull, and interlibrary loan staff Mike Grossman and Vivian Gangle to learn more about how they operate. Duluth Public Library participates in the MnLINK Gateway and cooperates with Arrowhead Regional Library System when they need to borrow items for their patrons outside the MINITEX region via OCLC ILL.

Later, Mike Grossman took us on a tour of the library and showed us their special collection of items on and about Duluth, heavily used for genealogy.

Duluth Public Library also has a pretty unique collection of Manga.
