About Plum Creek

Public library services have been available in Minnesota for over 150 years. For over 50 years Regional Public Library Systems have worked to ensure quality library services for every Minnesotan, regardless of physical location. Our region in southwestern Minnesota was the setting of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s book ON THE BANKS OF PLUM CREEK from which we take our name.

The mission of the Plum Creek Library System is to support and collaborate with its member libraries to provide excellence in library services.

During the last 50 years, the way that collaboration and support have been provided has changed, but the high quality of service has continued. Our vision is to be a catalyst for improvement and growth by providing leadership and facilitating access to resources advocating professional development, technology, and support services.
