MINNESOTA IN THE 70'S

Perhaps you heard authors Dave Kenney and Thomas Saylor on MPR Monday morning.  They are the authors of the new book MINNESOTA IN THE 70'S, available in the Goddard Library.  A lot happened during that decade which placed Minnesota on the national stage and defined who we are today.  Stop in and take a look back!
