Library partners with Prior Lake Rotary and Three Rivers Park District to place materials on-site and stock camping kits
Summary
Officials said the library placed an on-site collection at Hope's Portage through Prior Lake Rotary funding and created camping kits in partnership with Three Rivers Park District to improve access to outdoor recreation supplies.
Board members described two partnerships that put library resources directly where residents need them: an on‑site collection at Hope's Portage funded by Prior Lake Rotary, and expanded camping kits left at park cabins through a collaboration with Three Rivers Park District.
The Hope's Portage collection includes materials in English, Spanish and Somali and engages teens living on-site to help manage checkouts and refresh the collection. The camping kits contain activity items and basic cooking utensils so families who lack supplies can make use of cabins; the park district and library coordinated item labeling and potential in‑library tie-ins to encourage branch visits.
