The mission of Livingston Lord Library at Minnesota State University Moorhead is to support the academic and cultural experience of our students, faculty, and citizens of this region and to encourage their active, life-long learning. The Library acquires and organizes resources and provides the services that sustain research, support curricula, teach critical thinking, advance information literacy skills, encourage reading, advocate intellectual freedom, and enhance thoughtful, informed citizenship.
MSUM students are the reason we do what we do. Whether the Library’s many student employees are helping process and withdraw materials in our Technical Services Department, fulfilling requests for our patrons and partner libraries in Interlibrary Loan, helping library patrons locate and check out materials at the Public Services Desk, processing historic documents and photos in the MSUM Archives, or assisting with children’s and young adult collections in the Curriculum Materials Center, their work is central to the Library’s mission.
