I am becoming a connoisseur of Hennepin County libraries. This one is a strange one, but still does…read morethe job. First, it seems to sit on stilts. You park next to or maybe under the building. Then, you have to climb stairs to get to the library action. However, once up there, it is a pretty big library and we like their kids section, too. There are just enough books to choose from and there is a pretty good play space for the kids to burn calories while you hunt for books. We find the staff to be helpful as well. Note - I just saw something that this location may be closing soon for a major construction/rebuild project, so if true, you may have to head to the Grandview location.

They also have self checkout for any other books you want to check out. There's a ton of spots to sit. Might be my personal phone carrier (AT&T) but I found that my phone doesn't work unless I connect to the public wifi which I don't like doing - not secure. I guess go here to disconnect!! They also have private rooms you can rent if needed.
