The St. Paul Public Library is absolutely gorgeous. I came here on a Sunday and it was my first…read moretime visiting. From the outside it looks massive, so when you walk in it can feel a bit more compact than expected, but that is because there are so many different rooms and dedicated spaces instead of one large open area. Each section feels purposeful, which I really liked. The staff were all very kind, and there is a lot more here than just books. There are separate areas for magazines, media, and reading spaces, along with a makerspace that includes things like a 3D printer, a laser engraver, and other equipment that would normally be very expensive to access. Having that available for free is a huge plus. The building itself is beautiful, with a lot of marble and multiple floors that make it feel historic and well maintained. It is a great place to study or just spend some time, and I would definitely recommend checking it out if you are ever in St. Paul.

The shape of the building is super unique with low ceilings and multiple wings. I like the kids area inside and outside. They have a Wildflower garden, play kitchen, places to read in the shade, etc. In case you need it, there are also plenty of computers to use for the internet, and a few meeting and study rooms.

I like that they have easy accessible book returns outside and inside. They have a lot to offer in this limited space! I would say generally if you are looking for a library with decent seating/study areas go to Edina or EP.

You can order any book from within the system, if they don't have it on their shelves... When the junior high/middle school lets out in the afternoons, the energy level inside increases, but this place proves that community resources really belong to all of us -- adults, students, children/babies-- when we are all patient, follow directions, and share the space. Keep up the good work, library staff! You do an amazing job daily, and we appreciate you, and the many community resources you offer...

One of my favorite features of the library is the "lucky day" section, where new release books with long holds are available for immediate checkout, thereby skipping the line completely (lucky day, indeed!) There are computers and a 3D printer (which I'd love to utilize one day). This location is part of the self-service program, which allows access to the library 6am-11pm after you've watched a training video and met with staff to receive your self-service pass.
