Saint Anthony Park Library in Saint Paul, MN 55108

This iconic old library in the Saint Paul Public Library system - built in 1917 and remodeled in 1985 and 1999 - is set back from a park-like lawn with benches. The newer Children's Rotunda reading room is inviting, and the large collection of children's materials (funded through a private grant) make this a popular choice for families. Saint Anthony Park also boasts materials in many Asian languages.

The library hosts storytimes, teen events, and other family-friendly programming throughout the year, and patrons enjoy reciprocity privileges at libraries throughout the seven-county metro area.
