Learning Resource Center: Display materials
The Learning Resource Center offers display materials for use by local units of government, community groups, and educators. These items are available to Minnesota residents for short-term loan (generally, two weeks or less). There is no charge to borrow our display materials. However, borrowers must accept responsibility for displaying items in a secure area and returning them in good condition. The Resource Center cannot mail display items, so borrowers must arrange to have the items picked up and returned at our St. Paul office. It is best to reserve displays 4-6 weeks before they are needed.
To reserve available display items, please contact the Resource Center by phone at 651-757-2120 in the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area or 800-877-6300 in Greater Minnesota. You may also reach us by e-mail at resourcecenter.pca@state.mn.us.
