The funds were made available through the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment, was passed overwhelmingly by Minnesota voters in November 2008. This electoral decision created new resources for land conservation, water conservation, parks and the arts. A portion of these funds has been appropriated to regional library systems to support programs and services at local libraries and to partner with community organizations to enrich the lives of Minnesota residents.
One of Kasson Public Library primary goals is to seek new or expand existing partnerships with libraries, community organizations, performers and artisans to sponsor a wide variety of arts and cultural projects within the community. The library has a large variety of choices of entertainment is is looking for partners to bring more art and culture to the KM Library service area. If you or your group would like to partner with the library please call Library Director Bonnie Adams at 507-634-7615 or email badams@selco.info.
