If you are a library or media center person in Minnesota, you hopefully are very familiar with the resource ELM: Electronic Library for Minnesota!

ELM is an online library that can be used by any Minnesota resident. It provides “access to magazine, journal, newspaper, and encyclopedia articles, eBooks (online books), and other information resources.

ELM provides information on a vast array of topics, including consumer information, arts and humanities, current events, health, science, social science, politics, business, and more.”

We hope you are taking full advantage of all that ELM has to offer in your school library! But maybe you’d like an easy way to share with teachers, parents, or visitors to your library just how valuable ELM is? We have a large number of promotional ELM brochures that list all the different databases, catalogs, and collections that ELM provides for Minnesota residents. These brochures also give some basic information on other available statewide library resources that might be useful to you or your students.

If you would like some of these brochures, please let us know in the comments or email us at admin@cmle.org. We can arrange a time for you pick them up, or depending on the distance we could potentially bring them to you. Thanks!
