The Arlington Hills Library is a 1916 Beaux Arts library building designed by Cameron and Company. It is one of three Carnegie Libraries in Saint Paul, Minnesota, United States. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[2] The public library closed for relocation on Saturday, March 15, 2014[3] and reopened at 1200 Payne Ave. on May 22, 2014 as part of the Arlington Hills Community Center in collaboration with the parks and recreation department.[4] The building went up for sale by the City of Saint Paul for adaptive reuse that would maintain the historic structure.[5] The nonprofit East Side Freedom Library signed a lease with the city in March, 2014,[6] and will feature a reference book collection along with classrooms and meeting spaces for cultural events.[7] The East Side Freedom Library was expected to open in June, 2014,[7] but was delayed due to a need to replace the roof of the building.[6] The organization is fundraising and seeking grants to complete this and other work on the building.[6] The East Side Freedom Library began offering public programming in July, 2014.[8]
