Calling all explorers!
- April 24, 2025
Hennepin County Library has launched the Library Passport – a fun new way for residents to explore all 41 branches in the Hennepin County Library system! Inspired by the heartwarming story featured in the Star Tribune about a retired couple who embarked on a journey to visit every Hennepin County library, the passport is a celebration of exploration, curiosity, and community.
