Edina Library
Edina Library is located at 5280 Grandview Square in Edina, Minnesota.〔Hennepin County Library, “Edina Library,” http://www.hclib.org/about/locations/edina〕 The library shares facilities with the Edina Senior Center. It enjoys 18,000 square feet of floor space, and includes a meeting room, great room with fireplace, and a children’s room. Opened in 2002, the co-location of the library with the Senior Center has fostered connections between all ages of the community.〔Sullivan, Joe, “Edina’s First Library was Born in 1921, in an 1887 Elementary School,” About Town, 12/10/2003, http://edinamn.gov/edinafiles/files/News_Publications/About_Town/L4-91_AboutTown_2004Winter.pdf p. 9-12〕 The previous library was built in 1967 at 50th and Vernon Avenue〔Pieters, Jeffrey, “Long Time Librarian Dies at 78,” Minneapolis Star Tribune, July 1994, Hennepin County Archives,〕 at a cost of $439,807. Approximately 25% of construction costs were paid in part by a federal library grant.〔Hennepin County Library“1968 Publicity Scrapbook Summary,” http://www.hclow.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/HCL-SCRAPBOOK-1968-final.pdf, p. 2〕 In fact, Edina was the first library in Hennepin County to receive federal funds toward library construction costs. From the earliest planning meetings, Edina Library was intended to be joined by a regional library elsewhere in Edina. Southdale Library opened in 1973.〔Hennepin County Library, “Southdale Library,” http://www.hclib.org/about/locations/southdale〕
==An early library in Hennepin County==
Edina’s library roots go back to September 1921, and predate Hennepin County Library system. Four months before Hennepin County Library began its count-wide library services, Edina opened its first library in a school in the Linden Hills neighborhood.〔Hennepin County Library, “Edina Library,” http://www.hclib.org/about/locations/edina〕 In 1926, the library relocated to 50th and Wooddale, and in 1928, moved to the Westgate Theater building in the Morningside neighborhood.〔“Edina-M’side Library Predates County System,” Southwest Shopper, 20 April 1949, Hennepin County Archives〕 This move allowed Edina to have its first free-standing public library, and it became known as the Edina Morningside Branch library.〔Sullivan, Joe, “Edina’s First Library was Born in 1921, in an 1887 Elementary School,” About Town, 12/10/2003, http://edinamn.gov/edinafiles/files/News_Publications/About_Town/L4-91_AboutTown_2004Winter.pdf p. 7〕 The Morningside library was closed by the Hennepin County Board, effective December 31, 1976.〔Hennepin County Library, “1977 Publicity Scrapbook Summary,” http://www.hclow.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/1977-Publicity-Scrapbook-Summary1.pdf p. 1〕
In 1954, a second Edina Branch Library opened at 4120 West 50th Street. The former residence of James Bull, it was given to the City by Russell Lund and George Kruse. With room for between 6,000 and 7,000 books, space was limited to children’s and young adult’s books, and general fiction and non-fiction. The space was considered quite small by the standards of the American Library Association. As a result, the League of Women Voters began campaigning in 1962 for a larger library for Edina. In 1967, following considerable preparation, plans were announced to build on 50th Street and Eden Avenue. The building, known as the Edina Community Library, opened in September 1968 at 4701 West 50th Street next to the Village Hall.〔Hennepin County Library, “Edina Community Library,” 9/1994, Hennepin County Archives〕 Construction costs totaled $410,000, with 15,500 square feet of floor space.〔“Edina’s New Library,” The Minneapolis Star, 11/18/1968, Hennepin County Archives〕 The space was designed by Arthur Dickey, an Edina resident, and included a reading room for adults, a children’s room, a drive-up service window, and a multi-purpose room. Art reproductions, displayed near the entry vestibule, were available for checkout by patrons. Edina was the first branch library in the Hennepin County Library system to loan art prints.〔“Edina Opens Library,” Hennepin County Family, October 1968, Hennepin County Archives.〕 When the current library opened in April 2002, Edina razed the old library to make way for a new city hall and policy department.〔Waldon, Laura, “Council Approves Demolition of Library,” Edina Sun Current, 8/28/2002, Hennepin County Archives〕
