St. Francis Library
The St. Francis Library is getting an update! The Library will be closed to the public from May 29th through July during this renovation.
Frequently Asked Questions About the Renovation
Where should I pick up my reserve items when construction begins?
You can pick up your holds at the Rum River Library or any other Anoka County Library location. For holds that are already in progress, the pickup library will automatically be changed to the Rum River Library. Log into your account if you wish to select a different pickup location. For new holds placed during the closure, you will be prompted to choose a pickup location when placing your hold.
Where do I return books while the library is closed?
You'll be able to return books at the Rum River Library or any other Anoka County library location.
Will the Library Lockers at the St. Francis Library be accessible during the project?
No, the St. Francis Library Lockers will not be available during this time. However, your fob allows after-hours access to all of the locker locations, so you can choose the Johnsville, Northtown, or Mississippi locker locations when you place holds and still utilize the convenience of picking up your holds from 6am-10pm.
