Resources and Services

Because of the many advances in both computer hardware and software, much, if not most, legal research nowadays is performed online. As such, the number of law books maintained and kept updated by the Becker County Law Library has been considerably reduced.

Currently in book form the Library maintains one set of Minnesota Statutes and one set of Minnesota Rules, both printed by the State of Minnesota. Also available in printed form are a number of reference books and self-help materials as described below.

In addition to these paper holdings, the Becker County Law Library has a work station with a computer terminal and printer which is available to patrons for use in doing legal research. More about this computer terminal and the Library's online research resources are set forth on the Online Research Resources page.
