St. Olaf Library

The St. Olaf library is tended by its librarian, Ernest Minky. His stated policy was that "Books belong in a library," and only permitted visitors to check books out for an hour at a time. undefinedThe library contains three books. The telephone booth in the center of town receives more use than the library.

The books were once almost lost in a fire, but they were saved by Gretchen Lillehammer, who took two books in one arm, one book in the other, and ran out. Lillehammer was awarded the St. Olaf Woman of the Year Award for her bravery.
