Transforming Libraries – Hayden Heights | Saint Paul Public Library

Hayden Heights

Saint Paul Public Library is co-creating, with the community, a vision to transform Hayden Heights Library.

Update on Hayden Heights Library

June 2, 2026 Update

Since closing in late March for major renovations, the Hayden Heights Library project contractors have completed nearly all of the demolition needed to start construction, leaving the front doorway intact as it will be remodeled at a later date. In the coming weeks, work will continue on electrical demolition, duct work, and plumbing installation.

Throughout the summer they will transform the space to include new community and study rooms, green spaces, and create a connection to the neighborhood through large windows that will create plenty of natural light. Stay tuned for updates throughout the coming months.

New Mobile Library stop at Iowa Hi-Rise

Starting June 12, the Mobile Library will be adding a new stop at Iowa Hi-Rise. Existing stops on the greater eastside neighborhood at Ames Lake Neighborhood and Edgerton Hi-Rise. Check the Mobile Library schedule for more.

The Mobile Library offers a revolving collection of books and materials, onsite programming at each stop, and is equipped with a wheelchair lift for easy access. You can also place holds on items from any Saint Paul Public Library location and select the Mobile Library as your pick-up spot — holds will be delivered to the stop closest to your home address. Other services onboard the Mobile Library include notary services, tech help, and signing up for a library card!
