What”™s Up at Your Community Libraries

By Lindsey Fenner

All Hennepin County Libraries closed on March 17 and are tentatively scheduled to reopen to the public on April 6.
Please check the library website at www.hclib.org for updates, as the
reopening date may change. Availability of listed services below may change.

Starting March 20, ALL library staff are working from home. Hennepin County library workers fought hard to close library buildings down and keep library workers at home. This was a heartbreaking action to take; we all know how important public libraries are to the community. But frontline workers knew that it was impossible to keep libraries open or have workers in the buildings, and still keep workers and vulnerable community members safe. It was also heartbreaking because Franklin Library was scheduled to reopen on March 17 after a long renovation. Thank you to all of the community members who have advocated on behalf of library workers and patrons! We are still here (just working from home)
