There is more to do than just build the building--though the building is way
important. It takes something like $100,000 a year more to run Hosmer than the
library has a budget to afford. As a new Sumner and Franklin library come into
being, it will take that much more for them too. The legisla

Minneapolis' biggest problem is that many suburbanites don't understand
Minneapolis and are scared of coming to Minneapolis. Contrary to what they
think, we have a great city! The only way to change their perception is to
get them into Minneapolis where they can see it and experience it for
them

Were we to fold Minneapolis library into the county system, we would soon find

inner city libraries have had to fight damn hard to get and k
Mr. Minn is totally wrong. The downtown library is not 'duplicative,
redundant or unnecessary', for anyone, least of all the residents of
Minneapolis. The downtown library (the books, NOT the building) is far
superior to the county libraries at Southdale, Ridgedale, and Brookdale..

Quoting Steve Minn who is "Glad he doesn't have to pay for the Library."
