Hennepin County Library
Pierre Bottineau

Pierre Bottineau Library, serving the northeast Minneapolis community, was named for a prominent trapper and trader who settled in the area (1817-1895) and constructed from two historic buildings on the former Grain Belt campus—the 1893 Wagon Shed and the 1913 Millright Shop. In 2003, project architects combined the buildings with a state-of-the-art addition to create a new 12,000-square-foot library. From 1913-2003, the community was served by various library locations throughout the community.
