Locations & Hours

The Marshall-Lyon County Library is comprised of three libraries in Southwestern Minnesota. We have locations in Marshall, Balaton, and Cottonwood. MLCL collaborates with the Minneota Public Library and the Tracy Public Library to provide library services to Lyon County, MN.

Due to current events, the Balaton and Cottonwood Libraries are closed until further notice. Books may still be returned to these locations, and delivery options are available. Please call or email the Marshall Library for service. Please check with the Minneota and Tracy Libraries for their service updates.

The Marshall building’s drive-up window is now open. It is accessible from the driveway on Progress Drive. A drive-up book drop and walk-up book drop are also available. Check for service hours.
