COMMUNITY GUIDE 2025
A home for books, resources
The Eden Prairie Library is the community hub for residents seeking information, resources, learning and more. Within the library’ s doors at 565 Prairie Center Drive are a broad variety of programs and services for residents of all ages.
Library service has been available to the Eden Prairie community since 1924, when the first library in Eden Prairie opened in the Consolidated School. After closing in 1950, the community was served by the Hennepin County Library bookmobile until 1973 and later a reading center until 1986, when a community library opened. In 2004, the library moved to its current location, a former Lunds grocery store, and was recently renovated in 2020.
The library offers comfortable seating, electric-vehicle charging stations, an outdoor patio, large play and discovery spaces for children and teens, and an abundance of natural light throughout the building.
