DID YOU KNOW?

​

Bookflix & Explora are resources that are provided to SD citizens of all ages through the support of the SD State Library. 

​

The Proposed Fiscal Year 2026 State of South Dakota Budget the SD State Library is slated for elimination. Without action access to these go away along with virtually all resources shared with libraries across the state.

Other possible local effects: 

Interlibrary Loan & Delivery System

We are not repositories and interlibrary loan serves as a way to supplement what we do here locally.  So if we don’t own it, we could borrow it from another library that does.  If the support from the state library goes away - our ability for this service would get harder both in costs and time. 

​

Summer Reading Program 

One cost that is particularly prevalent is the Summer Reading Program Manual of ideas, and resources to help promote the prevention of the summer slide; without the State Library’s support the time and costs associated with developing a new program from scratch will have an impact on service overall.
