Minnesota: New “Wash and Learn” Program is Bringing the Library to a St. Paul Laundromat

Two reports.
From Minnesota Public Radio:

Starting Saturday, the St. Paul Public Library is joining a national effort that provides “pop-up” libraries in laundromats. The “Wash and Learn” program will debut locally at Giant Wash, 1675 Rice St.
Under the program, laptops and WiFi hotspots are installed at the laundromat. Librarians will be on site a few hours each Saturday through early October to lead workshops, conduct storytimes for children, and help people access library resources. There also will be shelves of books and other materials that people can check out, or read on-site.
