The Minneapolis Central Library is a landmark building in the heart of Minneapolis. The five-story library is home to a 2.4-million-item collection and is bisected by a 90-foot tall galleria with bridges connecting public spaces with storage areas. The signature rooftop is a focal point with “wings” extending over two of Minneapolis’s busiest streets. Other features include a café and bookstore, an art gallery, and a 250-seat auditorium.
