		The Library Board's commitment to historic preservation and sustainable design are evident throughout the project, notably in the use of natural light and environmentally-friendly new materials and the re-use of historic items.

	The Minneapolis Public Library, R.I.P.
		February, 2003) I took a walk downtown to take some pictures of the Minneapolis Public Library as they were tearing it down.
		I don't have a lot of memories of the old building, since I never really went to the central library that much (when I was a little kid, we lived in the suburbs), but walking around and seeing it go, I still felt a feeling of loss.
		But after circling the library, I think this particular corner was the most compelling, as it was where the crews were actively tearing into the building.

		For the past two years, Minneapolis has ranked No.1 on the list of America’s most literate cities (followed closely, both years, by Seattle), and, according to Kit Hadley, at least a small part of that stellar reputation is due to the city’s libraries.
		Of course, as the director of the Minneapolis library system, and as a vocal champion of the phenomenal new Central Library currently under construction in town, Hadley may be slightly biased.
		And this despite the fact that the Minneapolis libraries are “probably the system in a major city that has had the worst cutbacks—we have had to cut back our hours enormously,” according to Hadley.

		Our public libraries are central to who we are as a culture.

	South High Sucks.com -- Minneapolis Public Library Caught Throwing Books in Dumpster (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Apparently, the Minneapolis Public Library, despite their claims about being financially troubled, have plenty of cash to simply toss books in the dumpster--which admittedly was a recycling dumpster, but still...this is crazy.
		It's fairly well known among librarians and frequent library patrons that public libraries do not keep most of their books for very many years.
		The proceeds admittedly don't amount to all that much--books cost anywhere from 25¢ to $10 or so, but at least the library recoups a little of it's investment--and it allows people who otherwise may not be able to afford to buy books to provide books at home for themselves and their children.

	[Mpls] RE: Minneapolis Public Library CaughtThrowingBooksinDumpster
		A couple notes about libraries, books, and collections: Of the nine MELSA libraries (seven metro county systems plus Minneapolis and St.
		Paul), only Minneapolis has a collection policy that includes developing a historical collection (hence the 3 million volumes you always hear about).
		I'ts unfortunate there isn't an efficient mechanism to get the interesting books that a library no longer needs into the hands of someone who will appreciate them, but I have yet to see anything better than the library book sale (which I regulary troll for my own idiosyncratic collection).
