Kaposia Library

BKV was overjoyed to take part in the grand opening of the Kaposia Library in South St. Paul which is being touted as Dakota County’s most accessible and inclusive library. At 16,000 square feet, the Kaposia Library offers more than the former library by housing over 40,000 titles (including Braille) in addition to their children’s space doubling in size, plus incorporating interactive learning areas, a dedicated teen space, and even outdoor reading spaces. In addition to being extremely energy-efficient, the recently opened library is creating huge impacts on the broader community.
