    I love this library and the fact that it's paired with the Dakota county library systems! I grew up…read morein a small town so I was used to waiting 6+ months for a book to become available. Not the case with this library system. Their online system makes it so easy to get holds transferred from other libraries in the county. They are quick and efficient and it's easy to find where your holds are. The library is clean, welcoming, and overall very quiet. They have Toddler Storytime days and Storytime for 3-5 year olds. I used to love taking my toddler there and she had a great time. They sing songs, read books and have a play time after with the library toys. There is also a small sized selection of kids puzzles, a dollhouse, some magnet walls and magnetic tiles. There are also 4 small computers for kids 5+. Computers are also available for adults in a different section near the entrance. Overall it's not the biggest library, but it's beautiful, clean, renovated, and friendly! I love it and I'm glad to have it around.

    This is my local library! There are several good places to sit and read or work, and a selection of…read morerooms for groups or individuals. A big open kids section, an iLab, and a sensory room (with tools for people with autism or sensory processing issues to regulate), and a fireplace in the back got added with the renovations that happened a year or two ago. The only thing I'd improve is they don't have many places for book displays, and some of the displays are hidden. The featured teen books are just on a small rotating book stand and some featured non-fiction books are on a wall that's kind of hidden. The best displays are the children's books and Librarians choice books, which are right up front in an open are. Sometimes there's also a table with a book display by the entrance next to all the new books, which is changed regularly, so that's nice. I just wish the book displays particularly for the teen and nonfiction sections were more visible and inviting.

    Located on the first floor of the Dakota County Western Service Center, the Dakota County Library…read more(Galaxie branch) on the south side of the county service center. Due to Covid restrictions, there are less activities being offered but I did not inquire about the iLab that is there. There is a "Calming Room" for autistic people, which is very inclusive and needed. I'm glad that the DCL includes this service.

    After the renovation, this library has improved tremendously. They have a lot of amenities that…read moreweren't there before like an ilab, scanners, printers, DVD player rentals, phone chargers. And the astrology theme going on is very aesthetically pleasing. They changed the outline of the entire library, like the study rooms are now in the back. There's a return rental/book check out right near the front. Even the lobby area has a big comfy couch and high tables for waiting for a ride. They changed the hours as well, it opens at 9am and closes at 8pm on Monday thru Thursday. Weekends have shorter hours. They close for every major holiday. The back area is great for studying, everyone is very quiet and studious. They have individual rooms to study in as well but the lights in the room are motion sensors and the lights keep shutting off quickly by themselves. Those private rooms are really hard to get since they're all occupied. The other side of the library is built mostly for meetings and homework help. There's a small law library on the far end of the library also. They have an atrium type of study space which is perfect because you sit in a room which has a lot of desks,and watching other people study motivates you as well. It's called the quiet zone and is absolutely quiet, not even a pin drop, perfect for serious studying without any distractions. The people who study here are courteous to not even whisper. The chairs in there can be a bit uncomfortable but that's only if you're there for a long time. There's only one librarian here, a middle aged Russian woman who really knows her stuff when it comes to electronics, she's very well informed and helpful.
