Learning for fun through the summer is important! There are many ways youth and their caregivers can participate in summer learning at Hennepin County Library. We have opportunities for youth on summer break, as well as those enrolled in summer school or other structured learning programs.
 To learn and have fun all summer long, youth can:
Check our summer learning page for a summary of summer learning options: www.hclib.org/summer.
Encourage your students to keep reading over the summer months, a time when reading skills may decline. Reading for fun is one of the best ways to help youth develop a lifelong love of learning and reading.
Ask us for reading suggestions by email. We can help find books to match the interests and abilities of any reader. We also have a variety of formats including eBooks, eAudiobooks, and graphic novels. We'll email you suggestions that may include authors, specific titles, or book lists.
Explore our book lists for teens and book lists for children, as well as our staff reviews for teens and children. We have suggested reading for fans of adventure, fantasy, funny stories, nonfiction, and more!
 Join us for literacy games and reading practice this summer. No registration required, simply drop by a Let’s Read location during program hours to participate.
Let's Read is intended for students in grades K-5.
Find more information and a list of Let's Read locations.
 Residents of all ages can explore all 41 branches in the Hennepin County Library system with the Library Passport! Stop by your local library, pick up a passport, and begin visiting our 41 locations to get your passport stamped at each location.
It’s free to get a Hennepin County Library card, and anyone who needs to replace a lost or stolen library card can do so without paying a fee. You can get a new or replacement card in-person at any open library location, or apply online for a digital version of a library card. Learn how to get a library card.
You can Ask Us your questions via phone, email, text, or live chat with staff. Chat is available Monday-Thursday 9 a.m.-8 p.m., Friday-Saturday 9 a.m.-5 p.m., and Sunday noon-5 p.m.
