Disaster relief
“In times of disaster, to whom you can you turn? In the case of the Roseau Public library, we turned to the Minnesota Library Foundation. Their generous gift made possible the replacement of wooden shelving, tables and chairs that were contaminated in the devastating flood that hit Roseau in June 2002. Our library is indebted to the Foundation for helping libraries across the state “bounce back” from catastrophic losses.”
– Charles W. Erickson, Roseau Public Library

MLF supported a matching fund by the Friends of the Library to purchase computers and a subscription to One More Story, an Early Childhood literacy program.
Hoyt Lakes Public Library
The library created Early Literacy Kits for Birth to Two, Two to Three, and Four to Five age groups. They expect to serve 150-200 preschool aged children.

Begun in 2005, The MILE Leadership institute was created to help promote new librarians into leadership roles.The goal of the Institute is to:
- Develop and refine the skills of the participants that are necessary to be a leader in the libraries of tomorrow.
- Develop professional and personal goals and help the participants move forward on those goals.
- Network and make connections with people in the broader community.
- Reflect on the variety of leadership opportunities available at the local, regional, and state levels.
- participants matched with and work with a mentor for several months following the Institute.
