Retention List Stories

Story Thirty-Two: River Conservation

Recap: In 2022, twenty-four Minnesota libraries joined together in a commitment to retain over a half-million print books which are scarcely-held in Minnesota. It is called the Minnesota Shared Print Collection. Here is one of the stories from the Winona State share of the collection.

In his last years, the late Emeritus Professor Michael Delong (Biology) published his magnum opus, Rivers of North America (2021). The Krueger Library, naturally, owns a copy, but it is not on WSU’s retention list. Other books about the conservation of rivers, however, are on the retention list.
