I get in here once in a while because it's on one of my bus routes to the U of M. Occasionally I even walk from home, about 3 miles.
Susan, what else should be said?

12. St. Paul, St. Anthony Park library
This little gem is a genuine Carnegie library. I especially like the round children's area on the back, with shelves radiating like spokes from a central area. There is a special children's reading garden at the south side, and gardens and benches in front on the triangular lot.

Thank you, Ellen!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to know what kinds of books you get from us when you stop by here on the way to the U.

My book-borrowing is very eclectic. Probably most frequent would be children's picture books. Last year, I read once a week to four classes at Chelsea Heights School: K, 1, 2, and 3. So I'm constantly on the lookout for books that I think will work. I hope to continue this practice in the coming year. I find most of my books while shelving kids' books up in Shoreview, and I have a friend in tech services who watches the brand-new books and alerts me to ones I might like.
DeleteOther years, when I haven't been haring around the countryside visiting libraries, I've come to St. Anthony during long walks, for a place where I can get a drink of water and sit for a while. In that case, I probably check out non-fiction related to education. I looked for a John Sandford book in there the other day, but you didn't have the one I needed. [I'm working my way through the Lucas Davenport stories during all my bus riding.]
St. Anthony is at a bit of a disadvantage, because it means getting off one #3 bus and then catching another.
