The Friends of the Minneapolis Central Library are hosting an opportunity to see rare and historic items at a special behind the scenes tour and fund-raising event on May 17. The proceeds from the event will support the Children’s Library initiative on Early Literacy and School Readiness. Donations will help purchase developmental toys and furniture that foster exploration and fun by creating an interactive environment where children can learn, create and play.

The tour will highlight such items as the Kittleson WWII Collection, the Hoag Mark Twain Collection as well as other one-of-a kind treasures. A stop in the Children’s Library will also be included for a look at the programs and activities that promote Early Literacy and School Readiness.
