Give to the Max & help unlock $30,000 for your library!

Earlier this year, Hennepin County Library surpassed 600,000 active library card holders—the highest number we’ve seen in nearly a decade.

Maintaining a library system that serves the unique needs of this many patrons is a service we’re proud to deliver, but it requires an increasing amount of resources.

Your gift today will help us grow our print and digital collections, expand student success and youth development programming, and strengthen our reach to connect with new library patrons. 

And right now, the Butler Family Community Foundation has offered a $30,000 challenge grant for Friends of HCL . . . IF 1,000 library lovers like you make a gift by midnight on Give to the Max Day, November 19.

Give today to help us unlock these vital funds and enrich the library experience for for every patron who walks through our doors!
