With an eye to the future, staff at Washington County Library are continually assessing and re-imagining the building facilities across our seven branches. The county is currently moving forward with major projects at Wildwood Library in Mahtomedi and Valley Library in Lakeland.

Wildwood Library is a major building construction project that will offer improved facilities to serve visitors and patrons. The library is scheduled to close for construction on July 20, 2019. The project is funded through the proceeds of tax exempt bonds issued in 2019.

The Valley Library project is an expansion and renovation of a new space within Lakeland Plaza. The library will remain open through construction, which is expected to begin in August. The project is funded through the 2019 county levy.

A proposal for a new Park Grove Library is currently on hold while local government leaders discuss a location for the library that will serve the needs of the community and allow flexibility in the future.

Residents can get building project updates on this page, or by following the library on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram at @WashCoLib.
