Minnetonka Library (formerly the Minnetonka Mills Library or the Burwell School Library), is a library in Minnetonka, Minnesota.[1]

History

Before the Library

In 1876, a library was opened in a flour mill.[2]

In 1914, it was moved to a store. The store caught fire in 1918, causing the library to get moved to the Burwell School.

The Minneapolis Public Library sent books to help the library.

Current Library

In 1963, the school closed the library to use the space for itself.[2]

In 1967, the Minnetonka Library replaced the Minnetonka Mills Library.

The current library building opened in 1989.[3]
