The eyes of the world will soon be on our city, as the Republican National Convention comes to Saint Paul. The Saint Paul Public Library is uniquely positioned to keep you informed, involved, and engaged in this historic event.

Central Library will be open during the convention, and it’s about as close to the center of the action as you can get without a laminated badge.

Staff will be blogging about the view from downtown, as well as posting relevant updates as they happen.
