Heritage Library to expand
A wealth of free information about anything in the world
is at people’s fi ngertips by visiting Heritage Library, so it’s
well worth checking out.
Heritage Library, located at 20085 Heritage Drive, is part
of the Dakota County Library system, which includes nine
branch libraries, a bookmobile and shares borrowing priv-
ileges with the city of South St. Paul Public Library.
The renovation and addition for Heritage Library
and License Center in Lakeville is progressing as part
of a Dakota County Library System project. The interim
library location is at City Hall. The library is being ex-
panded by about 2,900 square feet. This expansion will
allow for the creation of a new iLab/Maker space and
increase the size of the community meeting room. Other
improvements include an enhanced children’s space,
more efficient staff workroom and quiet reading room.
The license center is being expanded by about 1,100
square feet.
The library system’s collection houses nearly one mil-
lion volumes and the library circulates nearly four million
items per year. The collection also includes thousands of
videos and audio materials. Any county resident can ap-
ply for a library card in person at any of the nine Dakota
County Library branches or South St. Paul Library. Accept-
able identifi cation, such as a driver’s license, state non-
