Best places: Public libraries in Saint Paul, United States

👍👍 My kids (4, 2, and 1) also love it. There's a kitchen with food, dinosaurs, various puppets (people and creatures), puzzles, cars, busy boards, light wall, and developmental games, among other toys/resources. They have a wonderful selection of kids' fiction and non-fiction books, along with a big se...

👍👍 This library is perfect for any parent who needs a break! We visit plenty of libraries around the Twin Cities and this one is my favorite. It is conveniently located in a building connected to the DMV, courthouse, and other county departments. It has a coffee shop for you and the kids to refuel. The...

👍👍 Nice library. Attractive, modern looking bldg. The staff were pleasant, courteous, and helpful. No real safety measures for COVID. Having a diagnosis of being immunocompromised, I was thankful for the librarian who wore a mask when assisting me!

The Eagles nest provides a varieties of activities for the younger ones while the gym, library and other facilities are available for the adults. Great place to be.

😠 A few weeks ago, I came here to pick up a family member. When I arrived, I was parked by the entrance waiting, and the security staff came out and stood by the doors glaring at me for as long as possible. Given the time I was there, two to three minutes at most, he could have walked over and told me...

😠 (1) I returned a library item to Augsburg Park Library about 10:40 P. M. on April 30, 2018. Shortly after I was back in my motor vehicle, a Richfield Police officer stopped me and he claimed: "No one returns a public library item at 10:40 P. M. on a Monday night." I am posting this report for oth...

👍👍 Have very nice study rooms, and they have a good system to make sure no one is posting in there all day or setting up office. Very cozy and homey!

👍👍 5 stars for the library staff and two big thumbs down for the patron who yelled at me because my baby was crying for a couple minutes while I comforted her. “Public” means the library is open for use to anyone, including babies who sometimes cry.

👍👍 This library is still open during the pandemic which is nice compared to other counties where the libraries are all closed. They have a good collection and also now have board games and video games which can be reserved. There is a nice playground here too.

😐 small, quiet. i avoid all librarians because their auras are weird. just like dentists. the hours are sporadic and terrible. i miss when it was open mon-thurs till 9pm like it was when i was a kid. lost respect for it when they required masks, since you'd think a library would be a smart place. does...

👍👍 Wow. This library will be the heart of WBL's promotion of continuous growth and learning for decades. Great facility, great activities, and open to everyone. 10 stars.
