How to get Materials by Mail

The Blue Earth County Library's Materials by Mail Program allows Blue Earth County residents to have up to 5 library materials mailed directly to their homes each month. Each delivery includes a postage-paid return envelope for easy return of materials to the library.

All users must have a library card, but those without one may register for a temporary card over the phone. There is no cost to participate and there will be no fines for late materials.

The Blue Earth County Library System consists of three locations: Mankato, Mapleton, and Lake Crystal. For additional information call (507) 304-4001.
