Anne W. Grande Law Library

Anne W. GrandeOn November 3, 2009 the Hennepin County Board of Commissioners unanimously passed Board Action Request 09-0509 naming the Hennepin County Law Library the "Anne W. Grande Law Library."

The Board recognized Anne's lifetime of career-competence and creativity, as well as her leadership in introducing electronic and online resources to enhance the collection of thousands of law books and journals in serving both legal professionals and the general public.

Anne Grande was the director of the Law Library from 1975 until 2008 when she took medical leave.  She was the Law Library's longest-serving director since the library's governance was established in 1934.

In 2008 Minnesota Lawyer recognized Anne as one of the state's "Unsung Legal Heroes."

The Law Library staff is proud to congratulate Anne on this well-deserved honor, and looks forward to continuing her high standards of service.

 

Neon Open SignHCLL Is Still Open Until 6 O'clock!

The Law Library is still open until 6 o'clock!  However, to get to the Law Library after 4:00 you need to:

  • Go to the 'A' tower weapons screening
  • Take an elevator to any Bridge floor (e.g., 23).
  • Cross the atrium bridge to the other bank of elevators in the Courts tower
  • Take an elevator to the 24th floor.

We apologize for the inconvenience.  The Courts tower weapons screening now closes at 4:00 p.m.  The County is implementing these changes to cut costs.
