Located in Golden Valley Village Hall from 1958-71, Golden Valley Library opened in its current location in 1971. The library is situated in a park-like setting overlooking scenic Bassett Creek. It was the first library to be funded entirely by Hennepin County after the State Legislature authorized the county’s long-range building program in 1969.

The first free-standing library for the City of Plymouth was built in 1995. The library soon outgrew its space, and in 2008, expansion plans were made. In 2010, today’s Plymouth Library opened to the public with sustainable and state-of-the-art features.

Rockford Road Library opened in 1972 and was renovated in 2013. It serves the cities of Crystal, New Hope and Robbinsdale. For several decades prior to 1972, library service was provided to area residents out of various locations in the community. The library is named for one of the most historic roads in Hennepin County.

In 1913, the Village of St. Louis Park voted to establish a public library and reading rooms in a location on Walker Street.

The library opened in its first free-standing location in 1968 in a residential neighborhood near St. Louis Park High School.
