Walker Library - Hennepin County Library

Nestled in the vibrant heart of Uptown Minneapolis, Walker Library has served neighborhoods since 1911, starting at 2901 Hennepin Avenue South. In the 1970s, it boldly relocated underground at the Hennepin and Lagoon corner, only to resurface in a stunning above-ground building in 2014. Named for T.B. Walker (1840-1928), the esteemed Library Board president, art collector, and local businessman, it embodies cultural legacy. Discover free events, connect with the Friends group, and enjoy six-day-a-week access at 2880 Hennepin Avenue—a true community gem blending history, art, and modern vibrancy.
