Southdale Library

Southdale Library is a public library in Edina serving residents from several surrounding communities. It houses extensive collections, digital resources, and various learning materials for visitors.

The library opened in 1973 as Edina's second library location. It introduced modern library services with reference materials and popular literature collections at that time.

The library hosts regular free events and programs that draw residents from different neighborhoods together. These activities create gathering spaces where people from the surrounding communities can learn and connect.

The library is located at York Avenue and is easily accessible by foot or car. Visitors should check current hours before arriving, especially if planning a weekend visit.

The library will undergo major renovation starting in January 2025 based on community suggestions. The project will add solar panels, geothermal systems, and new outdoor spaces.
