Brooklyn Park Library, Library branch in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota.

Brooklyn Park Library offers over 39,000 square feet of modern space designed with open floor plans that encourage community interaction and house diverse collections, digital resources, and specialized areas for different age groups.

The current Brooklyn Park Library opened in June 2016, replacing the original 1976 facility that was built by Setter, Leach, and Lindstrom at a cost of approximately $814,651 and served the community for four decades.

The library's holdings include materials in Hmong, Spanish and Vietnamese, reflecting a city where 24% of residents speak a language other than English. In local elementary schools, 42 different languages are spoken, among them Spanish, Hmong, Vietnamese, Creolized English, Lao and several Liberian languages. Three themes anchor the building: STEAM, world culture and geography.

The library stands at the northeast corner of 85th Avenue and West Broadway. The building has an open floor plan, with the children's interactive zone, a tech studio and reading lounges inside. Homework tutors are available several afternoons a week, and a meeting room can be reserved by patrons.

The library features commissioned public artworks including a lenticular mural titled 'Sectio Aurea' by Norman Lee and Shane Allbritton, along with a bike rack sculpture by Greg Mueller that enhances the building's aesthetic appeal.
