Nokomis Library
Nokomis Library, formerly Nokomis Community Library, is a branch library serving the Nokomis East area of Minneapolis, Minnesota. One of 41 libraries in the Hennepin County Library System, Nokomis was designed by Buetow and Associates, Inc and opened in 1968 as a replacement for the nearby Longfellow Community Library. After being deemed crowded and outdated in 1999, the library underwent a renovation beginning in 2009 that saw it gain a number of environmentally friendly features and an expansion of . The building reopened in 2011 and includes a restored ''Wind and Water Chime'', a stabile that was part of the original library and that was refurbished and reinstalled by July 2013. The library contains over 35 computers, a public meeting room, and a Spanish-language collection of materials.
==History==
Nokomis was the newest branch added to the Minneapolis Public Library system in 1967; the previous one was the Linden Hills Community Library, which was completed in 1931. It was built to replace the former Longfellow Community Library that had served the Nokomis East area for many years. In 1967, the City of Minneapolis had Buetow and Associates, Inc design the new library building, which was modeled after a tepee from the poem ''The Song of Hiawatha'' by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Additionally, the library was named for Nokomis in said poem, making the branch the only library in the system to be named after a fictional character.〔 The library featured a reading loft, basement meeting room, and . Construction on it began in 1967 and concluded the next year. The project utilized limestone produced by Mankato Kasota Stone, a local stone company quarrying in the Minnesota River Valley that had been responsible for providing stone for Minneapolis's Stone Arch Bridge. The library opened in September 1968 and immediately doubled the circulation of the old Longfellow branch.
A decreased budget led to Nokomis losing its Saturday operating hours in 2004.〔 The Nokomis East Neighborhood Association, Thrivent Financial for Lutherans, and members of the community subsequently put funds towards keeping the library open on Saturdays until in mid-2005 when money was reallocated in the budget for continued Saturday operation.〔 Further budget woes continued to plague the Minneapolis Public Libraries as of early 2007, by which point the system had had to temporarily close three different branches in part due to a loss of local government aid. A merger with the Hennepin County Libraries was approved by both systems' boards along with the Minneapolis City Council and Nokomis reopened at 10 am on January 2, 2008, as a Hennepin County Library. It remained the only building in the newly expanded 41-library system to be named for a fictional character.
