Over the course of more than a century, the library system has evolved from a Ford Model T "book truck" to card catalogs, vinyl records, 8-track tapes, and today's high-speed Internet, according to a news release from the library. All of these things and more will be included in the exhibit, which continues through the summer.
The Library Foundation of Hennepin County is the sponsor.
