Review from John C.
6/7/2011
Best overall storytimes in the county! They have 2 fantastic facilitators, and the most organized, comprehensive children's program I've ever seen.
Their storytimes are very popular among a loyal crowd, so they limit the spots available. For each 5 week session (meets once a week) you have to register ahead of time.
This library has the largest children's area outside of the central Mpls one, and in the back there is even a kitchen play spot.Listed in: Mpls Library Story Times

One of the best public libraries I've seen in the country. The selection is outstanding, with a very large children's books section (with many audio books) containing books in several languages. They probably have more books than Barnes and Noble and with much better variety as well. Not just picture books and idiot's guides: this is a real library for real people who like reading. I have learned many things about many topics because I had access to this wonderful bibliotheque.
You can request books online from other libraries. You get an email when your books are at the library and you can go pick them up. All of this at no cost! There are automated checkout lanes, and the staff is friendly. You might want to bring your own bags to take the books to your car, because chances are that you'll find many many things you like.
The locals know all of this, and that makes parking a little difficult on weekends. I love this library. There's a coffee shop inside in case you want to get a fix of Java as you browse. -

We drove out here because we thought maybe they'd have a better selection but then realized we can just search the Hennepin County database and request items to be delivered to the nearest library to us. Anyway, I requested a bunch of stuff so hopefully it will be transfered shortly for me to pick up nearby. If it all works, I'd say we have a pretty awesome library system! Oh as a side note, this is a pretty nice building. Seeing this library and the central one on Hennepin makes me think we're paying way too much in taxes.

This library is awesome. You can reserve books online and get an email when your books are ready to be picked up in the convenient hold section. There's self-checkout and great hours - open until 9 on weeknights! My only complaint is that there isn't always a parking spot available so sometimes you have to circle.
