Humans of

HENNEPIN COUNTY LIBRARY

Stories that highlight the importance of your donation.

"I come to the library three or four times a week. I own a small business and it’s a productive way for me to get a lot of things done . . . I do a lot of critical writing and thinking here."
Neil's story
"I’m not a big fan of sitting around doing nothing. I’d rather have my mind be active in reading or doing something on the computer. Coming to the library gets me out of the house for the day.”
Jennifer's story
"They [my parents] saw the library as a place where you could change your life because there are all these resources."
