Children’s Minnesota book nooks

Looking for something to take your mind off being in the hospital? A book can help. Children’s Minnesota offers book nooks at both of our hospital campuses.

About our book nooks

Our book nooks provide books for patients of all ages — from premature infants to young adults. There’s a wide selection of books to bring smiles, giggles, knowledge, comfort, fun and the joy of reading right to your hospital room.

How to get books at Children’s Minnesota campuses:

There are two ways to get books from our book nooks:

  1. Visit one of our book nooks in person. See locations below. Hours vary.
  2. Choose a book from a book cart: Library volunteers make book cart rounds to inpatient floors.
