Marquee Board Reservations Have Moved to the Emmetsburg Public Library

If your business or organization uses one of Emmetsburg’s yellow marquee boards to promote events and announcements, please note that the reservation process has changed.

The Emmetsburg Public Library now handles all marquee board reservations, along with the pickup and return of the plastic letters. In the past, these services were managed through the Chamber office.

Chamber members and local nonprofit organizations that would like to reserve a marquee board can simply call or stop by the library to make arrangements.
