“I always get my books by ordering online and they come to Cokato. All I need to do is go in and pick them up. I don’t have to spend time looking – just reading.”
Suzanne Halonen, Cokato
“What makes Great River Regional Library Great is the fact that it's one of the few free treasures still available in our world today. Through their resources (books, movies, CDs, and more), we can see, hear or read about worlds, both real and imaginary, learn about lives of people - living, dead, or fictional, or access information about anything and everything our minds can comprehend - and beyond. The library staff is amazing! They make our questions and challenges their own, doing whatever it takes to help solve problems or find answers. They're like our own personal research assistants… And I can request anything I need from my home via the Internet and pick them up or return them to any library location, having ample time to do so. They even call or email me to let me know when and where my books, music, or movies have arrived. The ease and convenience of it all makes me truly appreciate and value this service as a precious gift - free and available to anyone. Thanks for all you are and do, and Happy Anniversary GRRL!”
Barbara Omann, St. Stephen

“No matter the facilities they have had, or the challenges facing them, GRRL has always found a way to deliver high quality services to the people of this area. They also appear to always be ahead in their thinking as to what is needed, witness their early entry into technology. In my experience, the staff has always strived to provide the very best service, and is extremely knowledgeable.”

“It’s So User Friendly! I can request books I want online and pick them up at the Waite Park Library, which is closer to my home. If I’m in the mood to browse, the main library is a marvelous facility with a great collection. The staff at both libraries are pleasant and helpful. We are so lucky to have such a great resource in our region!”
Patricia Gruenke, St. Cloud
