Geographically there is no overlap. In Mpls., we have our Minneapolis libraries and we pay for our Minneapolis Libraries... we also pay for Hennepin Co. Libraries which we are free to use as well.
There are some unique services, but I'll let current MPL Board members speak to the questions of duplication/overlap, and potential cost savings via cooperation and/or consolidation. Have at it folks.
