There are no library branches located within City limits; however there are libraries nearby in Blaine, Circle Pines, and Ham Lake. A Lino Lakes branch is currently being planned for future construction in the Town Center area at the southwest quadrant of the intersection of Lake Drive and I -35W. A library branch within the community would be a valuable asset for Lino Lakes' existing and future residents. Public Works Building The Lino Lakes Public Works Building is located at the old City Hall on Main Street. The 11,000 square foot facility was built in 1971. The facility currently houses the Street, Parks, Water, Sewer and Fleet departments. The facility is not of sufficient size for the departments to function adequately. Additionally, the lack of storage space results in many vehicles and equipment being parked /stored outside exposed to the elements. A feasibility study to determine options for a new facility is included in the City's Five Year Financial Plan. Lino Lakes Senior Center The Senior Facility is currently housed within the Public Works Building, and occupies approximately 2,000 square feet. This facility provides a variety of social and recreational activities for Lino Lakes' senior population. As the population of Lino Lakes ages, demand for services and activities for seniors will likely increase. 9 -5
