Sumner Library is a public library in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It was created in 1915. The library was named after Charles Sumner.[2] It was one of the first Carnegie libraries built in Minneapolis. The library was mostly used by Jewish Immigrants.[3] 95% of the people who visited the library's were Jewish immigrants. The library had all of the Yiddish and Hebrew works in the Sumner Library branch. Many patrons learned English and participated in social clubs.[4]

Summer was one of 15 libraries in Minneapolis Public Library. Minneapolis Public Library was merged with Hennepin County Library in 2008.

The library celebrated its 100th anniversary on Oct. 10, 2015.[5]

Sumner is one of three Carnegie libraries in Minneapolis. The others are the Franklin Library and the Hosmer Library.[6] Sumner Library's building opened on December 16, 1915. After being open for one month, the new building was too small. Staff reported that one-third of children who came to the library had no place to sit. Adults were also crowded out of the library.[7]

Changes to the building

Since Sumner Library opened in 1915, the size of the library was always an issue. In 1927, a children's room and work room were added to the library.[8][9] In 1938, the library was moved to expand the road.[10][11] After the library was moved, the library was expanded to have an office.[12] In 2004, the library was renovated again. Additions were built on the north and west sides of the library, and the library's door was moved to the north side of the building.
