The recently remodeled Ramsey County Library is an impressive, modern, airy two-story building that can be found along Hamline, just north of County Road B. The first floor is mostly magazines, kids books, and teen lit as well as DVDs and CDs. It also includes a large computer lab. The second floor has more computers as well as an extensive collection of fiction and non-fiction books. The library also includes limited seating for people who'd like to read a little of a book before deciding if they want to check it out.
The Northfield Public Library has been providing Northfielders a place to read, chat quietly and learn for more than 100 years.
Founded in 1898, the library has called its current building, the Carnegie building, home for the past 100 years and celebrated that milestone in 2010.
Located on the north end of downtown, the library has adapted through the years and now gives users access to books, audiobooks, music, movies and the Internet. The library also provides research databases and resources for job seekers.
