Libraries offer resources and more
Libraries aren’ t just for checking out books anymore. The three branches of the Hennepin County Library system allow community members access to a vast network of resources, both in print and digital media, as well as classes and events for all ages.
Hennepin County Library system has 41 libraries and more than 5 million books, CDs and DVDs in 40 world languages.
Books, movies and music can also be downloaded online and residents download these items at a rate of over a million annual downloads. Of course, for those preferring a hard copy can find one, if not at local branches, at others throughout the county.
Besides resources, the local library branches host a variety of classes, storytimes and more. Many libraries offer extensive summer programming for both children and adults. Many of these programs are run by volunteers, presenting an excellent opportunity to get involved in one’ s community.
