On Tuesday, April 30, MNLINK will change. You will still be able to request items from libraries across the state, but regular users will notice that the website is different. That’s because MNLINK is moving to a new software platform.

While it will look a bit different, under the hood the service is still the same. You’ll continue to use your library barcode and PIN to log in and make requests. However, please be aware that any requests made prior to the transition won’t appear on the new system when you log in. Rest assured that library staff will be working behind the scenes to fulfill those requests.

In preparation for the move, your MNLINK requests are temporarily limited to 10 items per card beginning March 25. Renewals to out of system items are also suspended at this time.  As with any software change, it’s likely there will be a few bumps in the road.  We’re doing all we can to help the process go smoothly, and appreciate your patience.

If you haven’t discovered MNLINK yet, this is a great time to start. All you need is your library card and PIN to access a wide array of collections beyond your local library.
