Project Overview

Fifty-seven standard Minnesota history titles were added to the library to broaden public accessibility. The books are available for anyone to request and check out, though some titles will "float" and stay wherever they are returned. Some books books specifically have Foley Public Library as their "home" location and will automatically be sent to Foley, no matter where they are returned.
