Southdale Library building project

New construction

Resuming 2023

About the project

The current Southdale Library has served the residents of Edina, Bloomington, Richfield and Minneapolis for fifty years with its extensive collections, meeting spaces and community responsive programming. Resident & Real Estate Service Center was relocated to the Southdale Center in 2016. District court functions were relocated to other county facilities in early 2019. Southdale Library planning will resume in 2023 and will include building on the existing site.
