Most dispatches are from librarians at the James K. Hosmer Special Collections. Special Collections' Minneapolis History Collection covers an extensive array of materials on city history, including thousands of photographs, clippings, documents, books, programs, reports, yearbooks and hundreds of archival collections. Special Collections also houses several other collections on World War II, 19th century literature, the Abolitionist movement, Mark Twain, and the History of Books and Printing. You can visit Special Collections at the Minneapolis Central Library. Hennepin County Library includes 41 libraries. More than 5 million books, CDs and DVDs in 40 world languages. Almost 1800 public computers. One great system serving 1.2 million residents of Hennepin County. We're on Facebook, YouTube and Twitter, too.
