Did you know that Minneapolis was recently ranked the nation’s most literate city? Up from number two last year, the city beat out Washington DC for number one!

What sets us apart? Did you know that MN has some of the largest book publishers outside of New York, Boston, and Chicago? Local publishers include but aren’t limited to: Lerners, Capstone, Graywolf, Coffee House, Milkweed, MnHS, and UMN press. Did you also know, there are at least 130,000 MN published titles in WorldCat?

So, a great big cheer for Minneapolis and the state of MN for supporting literature and publishing!
