101 Twin Cities Libraries - Mapped

Libraries are such an important part of a family-fun arsenal, that we are lucky to have so many options. The Twin Cities metro area is made up of seven counties, all with their own library system. Plus, Saint Paul operates its own library system. This gives us 8 separate library systems with a total of 101 local branches. Find nearby Twin Cities libraries on the map below:

    Hello. . . I’m executive director of a nonprofit mental health counseling organization–Walk-In Counseling Center (though we’re all virtual right now). We offer free, anonymous, no-appointment services (during counseling clinic hours) for anyone who needs us, all by professional clinical volunteers.

    It’s very difficult to get the word out, but I have a one-page flier that gives instruction about how to access us. Is there a way to get it to you so that you can forward it to all the libraries (over 100!). The instructions are also on our website: walkin.org

    I greatly appreciate your help. We’ve been doing this for 52 years, but the pandemic has changed the game!

    Thanks much,
    Mary Weeks, MSW

      Hi Mary. This is a great idea. However, we are not associated with MELSA, we were simply writing about the library options out there for families.
