Only a week remains until the 2023 Minnesota Book Awards! Hundreds of writers and book-lovers from across Minnesota will converge in St. Paul on Tuesday, May 2 to celebrate the rich literary landscape right here in our own backyard. Tickets are still available to attend the ceremony in person at the Ordway Center for the Performing Arts.

If you’re subscribed to MALF newsletter, it’s safe to assume you’re a Friend of the Library. From there, it’s not much of a stretch to surmise that you’re a book-lover, too!

We have an exciting announcement to share – and National Friends of Libraries Week seems like the perfect time to do it. After a months-long research and design process, MALF has just launched a brand new website! Check it out for yourself at mnlibraryfriends.org.
