We love going to this library with our 3 year old. The kids section is just wonderful. They have…read moreplenty of books and activities to do for the little ones. They have a train table, car mat, food stand, Lego table, puppets & puzzles for the kids to play with. Can easily spend a few hours with the kiddos here. The parking lot on ground level can fill up pretty quickly but they have parking up top by the police station. In winter time be careful carrying your little ones down the steps as they can be slippery!

I appreciate there are at least 5 private study rooms as an option. There were many rows of books with a great selection.

This space is bright, clean and modern . On a Tuesday at noon, it was easy to grab a spot but there are limited tables and seating areas. The atmosphere was quiet and calm. I will definitely be returning on a weekday but I'm not sure if I would want to take my chances getting a spot on a busy weekend. But you never know until you try.

This Library is not good to sit and study but good to borrow books and go study somewhere. People talk too loudly, laugh louder like in a restaurant! We run away from our homes to find a comfortable place to study but this library makes it even worse.

Most recently I rented their smaller 10 person conference room to use as a quiet space to attend a virtual meeting. The room was nice feeling and there was plenty of space.

The staff were enthusiastic to stamp my library passport and asked me questions about some of my favorite locations so far. They told me about the unique features of this location - kids garden (which not sure it's been started just yet for this year) and there's a pollination garden on the lake view side. They had some seating options but generally felt a bit smaller overall compared to some other locations, so I love that they have areas outside to sit. Definitely worth checking out on a nice day!

It overlooks Lake Minnetonka and I would love to visit each season to see the difference. It is a smaller space but has all the resources I would need.

The Chaska library is a smaller library in downtown historic Chaska…read more I agree with other reviews saying it is pretty noisy. It's also in an older building and it does smell like it - or at least it did on a hotter day. I really give it props because it tries to embrace the community aspect of a library. Nearly half its section devoted to kids and teens. Many posters around about community events. Seems to be balanced with books offered on the shelves - I get you can't please everyone. For all these reasons - I am appreciative of this location. Is this where you go to have a quiet place to study for your SAT/GMAT doctor's exam? Absolutely not. Will you find supportive staff that will cheer you on? Probably. If you have a Carver County library card - make a visit! (...And then walk down the road to Firemans Park for a fun day out!)

I am writing my review on Faith Village and Crown College. First, I went to crown for four years…read moreand I had a pretty good experience but for my husband it was terrible. Crown College claims to have a criminal justice program, but they fail to tell their students that they are not certified by the POST. Which means that my husband would have to go to additional school (1-3 semesters more) if he wanted to be able to be a police officer. In addition, they told him many lies that he would be able to graduate and then go to police academy. This is a complete lie. Also, not only did that happen but his classes were pointless. My husband learned nothing in his time at Crown. The teachers that are apart of the program do a half A*s job teaching. They combined TWO classes together (when he was paying for both if I might add) and they met in the professors office... Which is completely inappropriate because she is a female and he is a male and sometimes he would be the only one that showed up to class (there were only 3 students in his class). So basically the time my husband spent at Crown was a complete waste of money and he has now transferred to be able to get a better education that will actually help him in his career. My next thing is about living at Faith Village at Crown College. I would highly recommend not to. First of all, their maintenance staff does not do anything. They never shoveled the sidewalks and they never did the work orders that were put it. Sometimes it took them three days to fix something. One time we put in a work order for our toilet and they didn't come for THREE days... we only had one toilet in the apartment . Another time our sink had a crack and water was leaking all over we put in multiple request and spoke to many people and they did not get to the request for SEVERAL days after. I think that it was ridiculous because we had water all over our floor and we could not wash any dishes. Overall, I think Crown has a lot of work to do to get up to standards. I do not even think that they should offer a criminal justice program if they do not have the resources to educate their students or to help them succeed. It is a waste of thousands of dollars and not worth it. Also, I would recommend they get more maintenance staff to fix serious issues that happen.
