Local Library Resources
Moorhead (Lake Agassiz Regional Library), Fargo, and West Fargo have a reciprocal borrowing agreement. This means if you have a library card from your home library, you also qualify for a free library card from the other two libraries. This allows residents in the Fargo-Moorhead area to use the print and electronic resources at each of the libraries for free.
Concordia students are able to get a Lake Agassiz Regional Library card with their Concordia Student ID and proof of a permanent address.
