South St. Paul inches toward a new library City would get a new county facility, though some residents will miss the old building July 6, 2021 5:54pm Text size Copy shortlink:
South St. Paul is one step closer to having a county-run library, a solution that would provide residents with a modern space but leave the city s nearly century-old library sitting empty.
The new branch would replace the existing library, which is city-owned and operated and dates to 1927. The city would retain ownership of the Colonial-style building at 3rd and Marie avenues though some residents have raised concerns about the future of the historical building, saying they re worried it could one day be demolished.
