There is a "Calming Room" for autistic people, which is very inclusive and needed. I'm glad that the DCL includes this service.

Along with books of course! There is a full kitchen set up that around 4-8 kids can play with. They have magna tiles and puzzles along with Lincoln logs. There are thousands of kids books and they are getting new books each month! There are zero late fees which is so nice because it's easy to forget it loose a book from time to time. Overall it's a great location and a great place to play, learn and meet new people!

This was an area where books are held to be picked up. It is also used as a book return as well. There are no desk or chairs or even a research area. An't wait until renovations are completed.

Love this little library more and more each time I go there…read more For one, the first trip I took, I made friends with one of the librarians there (Matt), who helped get me signed up for a library card and explain all the services I could get through the library. Matt always recognizes me (and/or my husband) and will go out of his way to say hi. It's really so sweet. Further, I love the selection available here. Especially of LGBTQ+ books. I anticipate this will be a great boon during the winter months when I end up holed up devouring books for entertainment. I was super happy when I saw the kiosk they created for Pride Month (June) to showcase a number of their books available. I also appreciated seeing menstrual products available for free in the men's restroom. The kids area is super duper cute, with lots of painted murals and such. In the back, there's a large table to work on jigsaw puzzles. They have some books available for purchase books at very affordable prices too towards the front. You can rent DVDs/blurays too. And there are computers you can use. They do occasional classes or events/activities. The library is clean and cozy in good condition. I wouldn't mind spending an extended time there. The checkout process is really simple/easy-to-use and highly automated. So glad this library exists near me!

The instructor, Matt, was very knowledgeable and helpful. In class, we used a modeling software package to make a design. Matt is going to look at our designs and make adjustments and suggestions prior to printing. You can reserve a 3D printer for up to 4 hours. I can't wait to print my design. I'm looking to create some custom earrings. I also attended a Fix-it-Clinic. It was packed! I didn't have time to wait for suggestions on the repair of a speaker but I hope to attend the next clinic or check out another library. Lots of people getting sewing repairs, lamps, appliances, etc repaired by many knowledgeable repairers. Libraries offer so many free services. It's worth applying to their newsletters and checking out a future event.

I was told they would try to resolve the issue and get back to me. By 9:30 am the next day I get a call that I was all set and just needed to go in to the Burnsville office to complete my process. I went real early on Monday morning and got in with about 9 others waiting for the doors to open. I got both my driver's license and vehicle plates and was out of there by 9 am. Now I'm an official Minnesotan!
