The 2020 Census promotion at the library came to an end on September 30th. The drawing for the I-pad that participants in the Census had a chance to win was held October 2nd at 5:00. Winner of the I-pad is Dan Svatos. Congratulations Dan and we appreciate every one who participated in the 2020 Census. 2.8x2 Numbers at the 2020 Census site shows that Lake Andes moved from 9% of people completing the Census on-line to 35.1%. The state average for South Dakota finished at 96.8%. A few states across the U.S. finished higher, but a few states finished lower as well.

The library is continuing to shelve new books. We continue to be open to one person for book browsing at a time. We ask you to wear a mask. We can do curbside service, call and we will pick out books for you and deliver to the curb outside the library. Phone number is 605-487-7524.

The library will be closed Saturday, October 10th and Monday, October 12th for the three day weekend.
