Someone put a ton of money into this, upgrading and making it state of the art. Shelia is an excellent manager to deal with. She so generously let our group Twin Cities Sisters in Crime, book our meetings out for the community room. It’s great to have a connection to a library. It’s attached to a rec center of some sort and that is where the neighborhood votes and where they hand out the recycling bins. There is a smaller group room downstairs for bookings also. They have wonderful guest speakers throughout the year also. They’re only open til 8 and you are sent packing at quarter to. They make us feel welcome and it’s now my favorite.

My favorite library! The remodel of the library is great and has made it a library that is ready for the 21st century. Super fast wifi is available. Outlets with usb charging ports as well are literally EVERYWHERE! It’s a great space to come and get work done. Not to mention all the resources that the library has.
Bonus: Hard to find, open gym basketball for adult on Saturdays at the attached community center!

We love this library. If you can’t find the book you’re looking for, just request it. Movies (lots of old, some newer) for free. Documentaries & fiction, very interesting selection. It amazing the amount of books, movies you can have out at one time.
Parking can be difficult. Some under, some parking lot, some street. very popular place. Only bummer is occasionally creepy old guys protest across the street.
The staff is very helpful, most of the patrons are quiet & courteous.

I’ve been touring my local libraries and this is not my fav.
I love libraries and all are really great– free books, as many as you want (really, there is NO limit, I asked a guy), knowledgeable staff, and it’s free. Yes, free.
This one is cool if only for the potential of multi-​tasking; there’s a community center or something else in the building (a pool, maybe?), so if you drop off your kid for some class, you could hang in the ‘brary.
It has a great selection of books, but the kids’ section is kind of a mess, organizationally, and there’s not really anywhere to sit.
It is not the prettiest library in the system. It doesn’t have an old-​building appeal and it’s not newly remodeled. It’s quite «80’s schoolroom» and I really get the «library» feel (like I’m about to be shushed at any moment).
Hours? Cool. Poor, under-​funded libraries are hard to find open past 5:30.

This library is best utilized by setting up an internet account and then using the «request» button. Now, I can request anything from the St. Paul catalogue and pop in her and pick it up without having to talk to anyone! Yeah! The music selection is OK and their video selection leaves something to be desired. If you are requesting a popular movie, be prepared to wait forever and a day for it. Ditto for the bathroom. There is always some young mother in there hogging up the bathroom with her five children!

I’m giving this library 5 stars because of its stellar hours. Open til 9, and on weekends, this place is serving the community. There is a drive up drop box (which you really should avoid if you can for the books’ sake) They have sale books, and it’s in the same building as a pool I think. But. There are a few issues. Like the movie organization. They just moved all the informational (including documentary) movies in with the stacks… So if you just want to browse, you have to go through the entire library with your eyes peeled for a DVD or VHS sized case. Are they trying to kill the circulation of this material? Doesn’t make much sense. Yeah, if you’re looking specifically for a video on the Civil War, you’ll easily find it, but if you’re just looking for an informational good time, you’ll never find it.
