Hamline Midway
Saint Paul Public Library is co-creating, with the community, a vision to transform Hamline Midway Library.
Update on Hamline Midway Library
Last updated March 3, 2026
Children’s area benches, honeycomb furnishings, carpet, and tiling in the entryway are bringing a coziness to the new Hamline Midway Library. Doors, hardware, and other accessories are being installed along with lighting, wiring, panels, and electrical systems. HVAC and ductwork have been inspected and passed.
With most significant structural elements complete, majority of the working going forward will be on furniture, fixtures, and equipment in the interior of the building. We are excited to soon begin the commissioning stage of the Hamline Midway Library.
The library is expected to open by late 2026.
Hamline Midway Library is currently closed.
