Champlin Library, 1922Champlin Library
The first public library in Champlin, sponsored by the Champlin Women's Club, opened in 1913 in a small rented room and was open only on Saturday afternoons and evenings.[3] In 1921, the Women's Club purchased a small cottage and converted it into a library, and in 1922 Champlin joined the Hennepin County Library system.[4] A subsequent move to a building on Dayton Road and Oak Street (now Curtis Road) was followed by a temporary relocation in 1972 to Mississippi Point Park at Highway 169 and West River Road while a new library was constructed at the site of Dayton Road and Curtis Roads[5] in 1973.[6] The new facility, known as the Champlin Reading Center, measured 1,600 square feet when it opened in and held about 8,000 books in addition to reference materials, music, films and periodicals.[7] An addition to the building in 1981 provided 600 more square feet to the library. During construction, library service was provided by bookmobile parked out front of the library.[8] The 87% growth of Champlin's population from 1980 to 1990,[9] and the need to realign Highway 169 shaped the decision to move to the Ensign Avenue location.[10]
Friends of the Champlin Library formed in May 1979,[11] and have raised money for the library with semi-annual book sales.
