Libby, our e-book service, is now requiring users to enter a PIN. This will be required for signing into Libby, and you will occasionally be prompted to verify your account. It is the same PIN you use for Pioneerland’s online catalog.
If you’re a Libby user but don’t sign into your library card account on the Pioneerland catalog, library staff will be happy to help you set one up.
Pioneerland libraries will be closed on Monday, October 12, for the Indigenous Peoples Day holiday.

Check out a free state park pass at the Dassel Public Library! These seven-day passes cover the vehicle entrance fee to any state park or recreation area in Minnesota, making it easy to spend time outdoors and see nature at any time of year. To check out a pass, visit the Dassel Library and ask a staff member at the front desk. If one is available in the library system, you’ll be issued a 7-day vehicle pass, no library card needed. Passes cannot be reserved in advance. A limited number of passes are available each week in Pioneerland Library System.
Your state park pass should be clearly displayed on your vehicle’s dashboard. If you would like to camp, you will need to make and pay for reservations separately. When you are done exploring with your pass, just recycle it!
State park passes are provided through the Minnesota State Parks Library Program, a collaboration between our library and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. Learn more about the state parks library program at mndnr.gov/librarypass
