We're excited to announce that two new Minnesota Digital Library (MDL) curated exhibitions are now available on the Digital Public Library of America website. Researched and created by Carla Urban and Greta Bahnemann, these exhibitions were developed as part of the final phase of the DPLA Public Library Partnership Project (PLPP), of which MDL was a participant. The exhibitions were built using material digitized from public libraries in Minnesota as part of the PLPP, along with other content from Minnesota Reflections and DPLA.

More About the MDL/DPLA Public Library Partnership Project
The Minnesota Digital Library (MDL) is one of five Digital Public Library of America (DPLA) Service Hubs to be sub-awarded a grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, through the DPLA, for the Public Library Partnership Project (PLPP). The purpose of the PLPP is to train public library staff on basic digitization concepts and skills, to encourage and facilitate their participation in their local digital libraries and the DPLA, and to create collaborative online exhibitions based on materials digitized through this project. The grant activity will be complete by the end of September 2015.
