New library hours
We're adding more — and more consistent — hours.
Beginning Monday, Feb. 4, 2019, most Dakota County Library locations will be open an additional half-hour each day and library hours will be more consistent from one location to another throughout the year.
New, regular library hours include opening at 9 a.m. instead of 10 a.m. — with the exception of Farmington and Inver Glen which open at noon Monday–Wednesday. All locations will close one-half hour earlier. Updated hours also include year-round Sunday hours from 1–5 p.m. at six locations.
The changes are the result of feedback gathered during a survey conducted as part of the Library's 2018 strategic plan process and a study of customer use patterns. The new hours provide earlier morning access to the Library, an additional three hours of service each week at most locations, and more consistent open hours across the system.
When renovations are complete, Heritage and Pleasant Hill hours will match Burnhaven hours with one exception — Pleasant Hill will be open on Sundays only September–May.
