Little Dixie Regional Libraries (LDRL) is pleased to announce fishing poles and equipment is available for checkout through a partnership with the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC). This partnership is working to make fishing more accessible through MDC’s Rod and Reel Loaner Program to Missourians in rural areas.
Through the Rod and Reel Loaner program, patrons within Randolph and Monroe Counties can check out fishing poles and tackle boxes for free at their local library. Fishing poles are easy to use and designed for beginners and intermediate users. The tackle boxes are supplied with hooks, sinkers and bobbers for basic fishing opportunities. Patrons will need to use their own live bait or desired lures to bait the hook.
