In these unprecedented times, Hennepin County Library is here for you, with extensive services still available to readers of all ages. We're expanding access to our online resources so that the time you stay at home can be filled with entertainment, learning and exploration. In this issue, we're introducing a new way to access our materials online, reminding you about what's available to read and listen to, and sharing timely and high demand resources that have improved access. Use our Ask Us service anytime to get reading suggestions or answers to any questions you have.
If you would like a library card, Hennepin County residents and property owners can apply online to get a temporary e-card. If you already have a library card registered with Hennepin County Library, you can continue to use it and do not need to apply for an e-card.
Like regular library cards, temporary e-cards provide instant access to library resources online, including eBooks and other downloads, plus more than 150 online resources for learning and research.
