About Us
Dakota Prairie Libraries
The libraries all joined together when the schools consolidated in 1993. There is an assortment of books from all over the district in both of the libraries. The elementary is located in McVille and the high school is located in Petersburg.
In efforts to make the elementary library more cohesive, extensive weeding was done to make space for new materials and help us remain relevant to our users.
Books at both libraries have been added to the library's new computer software, Alexandria. The online software program has a OPAC (Online Public Access Catalog) that allows users to access book records online. So if you're standing at the book section in Walmart mulling over your purchase and wondering if you should really spend $16.97 on a book, you can use their free WiFi and look it up in our OPAC to see if our library already has it. Smart.
