We have many reasons! An electronic copy of the catalog is on our website. Most of our customers register online, which means – our website is viewed a lot! We typically get 3,000-4,000 visits to our website per month from our local community. Your business website will be linked to your online catalog advertisement sending viewers directly to your website. (We reserve the right to not link if the site contains material that is in conflict with district policies or guidelines.)

Advertise in an attractive, informative catalog. It’s magazine style – about 8 ¼“ wide by 10 ¾“ high with full color throughout the catalog. The Community Education catalog is a major source for Lakeville Area School District residents to access information on programs, activities and resources for babies through seniors. Approximately 24,000 hard copies of the catalog are printed with more than 22,000 mailed to homes now including most of Elko New Market. Additional catalogs are distributed in prominent community locations.

If you haven’t seen our catalog lately, stop by Lakeville Area Community Education, any of the Lakeville Area schools, City Hall or the library to pick up a copy, call 952-232-2170 to have one sent to you or visit our website to see our online catalog. Our advertisers have found it to be an effective means for local advertising. We have many repeat advertisers! More bang for your buck – compare with others, you’ll find our advertising is a great value.

Advertising is preferred from organizations, programs and services related to Health, Arts, Education, Recreation or Community Events. Advertisements from organizations, programs or services that conflict or compete with District activities, programs or services will not be accepted (see “What else do I need to know?”).

The catalog is scheduled to be published three times in the school year.
