2008 will be remembered as one of the most historic years for library service in Hennepin County.

Two major library systems, Minneapolis Public Library and Hennepin County Library, joined to create one of the largest public library systems in the country.

Combining the strengths and shared heritage of city and suburban libraries, we strive to ensure that all county residents have excellent library services, now and in the future.

Information chronicling our path to create a unified library system in Hennepin County is shared here.
