Minnesota Library Access Center
Affiliated Library
Description	The Minnesota Library Access Center is our high-density storage facility for Minnesota libraries that stores and makes available important but little used books. Unlike a library which shelves items either by subject or alphabetically by title, MLAC shelves items by size. The goal is to shelve at the highest density possible to maximize space usage.
