Minneapolis Central Library

The current home of the Minneapolis Central Library opened in 2006. In addition to books , the Cesar Pelli-designed structure includes an art gallery , a green roof, four fireplaces and a piano room . Read more

If you make a reservation you can access the piano room ! Best feature of this library by far

Huge! 4 floors, filled with books , artwork, and computers on each floor. Even music rooms to practice piano! A little stinky because of the location and availability. Just make sure to wash your hands

Too many crazy people who talk to themselves,swear at the computers and smell like marijuana and alcohol . Also some think it is a flop house

Definitely check out the bookstore . Lots of books , dvd's and cd's for super cheap . Wi-fi is hit or miss but the architecture is just beautiful!

This is a nice place to escape and actually get some work done. And the Dunn bros is an even nicer perk. Though I haven't had that many issues with Wi-Fi.

I love this library . But it does smell especially where the computers are located. It can be a little ghetto at times.

this is a clean and happy place. So many books and calm people huge downtown space feels like home

Since 2008, this has been part of Hennepin County Library . You can check books out and return at any other Hennepin library -- and return other Hennepin books here.

Amazing. Just so amazing. Tons of books and great places to sit and read.

Question: What do you get when you sit near three daddy's girls who attend St. Thomas? Answer: a massive tea party and lots of gossip about their Friday night escapades! Cluck cluck cluck!

great place to hang out with a laptop, get some work done on the free wifi and have a great view of the city out the window!

See the albatross that bankrupted the Minneapolis Library System. It's the nicest homeless shelter in town .

4th Floor gives an awesome view of the city-when you need a break from reading or studying. Read more

So many books so little time

Big library ,lots of resources but not really quiet and too much drama.

Watch the parking meters closely. We put 1 hour in, but stayed for 2, and scored a $42 ticket on a Saturday afternoon.

Great children's section and weekly story times .

Ever notice how many people use bathroom and don't wash hands

More like LIEbrary. Fight the power!!!

Hmmm Their A/C Is BOMB!! Haha

we actually made out in front of it

I read a book here. It was okay.

Not happy Addiction books are under "Social Pathology." Little stigmatizing, no?

Wifi sucks here. Go somewhere else if you actually need to work!
