Congratulations to the Hennepin County Library

This suburban Minneapolis library invites patron participation through a variety of innovative programs, including an author lecture series and a volunteer storytelling program. Patrons can renew library materials online, browse upcoming library events and explore a variety of recommended resources. "KidSpace" highlights book lists, events and Web sites for kids. At "Reader to Reader," you'll find specialized book lists, hot titles, local book discussion groups and a list of authors who will be visiting the area. The "If You Like... Handifile" suggests authors you might enjoy based on authors or genres you've previously read, and "Ask the Librarian" allows patrons to submit reference questions remotely. All in all, this site makes it easy and fun to get informed and involved!
