Stand Up For Libraries

Public libraries are the great equalizer. Their mission is one of learning, equal access, and community – but this role is impaired when libraries have poor service hours. Minneapolis has among the lowest number of library service hours in the country. The Friends’ primary goal is to expand public funding to support at least six days of full operations at all Minneapolis Public Libraries. You can make a difference. Please help us as we work with our elected officials to get libraries open when we need them. A great way to start is by signing up for our electronic newsletter, which provides timely updates on critical library issues -- including calls to action. Sign-up below.
