Located on the scenic east bank of the University of Minnesota, Arvonne Fraser Library is a historic gem in Minneapolis, MN. Designed by the renowned architect Ralph Rapson, this building has a rich history, originally serving as a credit union for university and state employees before transforming into a library in 1967.

Before its current incarnation, the University community was catered to by the East Side Branch at 22 University Ave. S.E. from 1891 to 1904, followed by the Pillsbury Library at 100 University Ave. S.E. from 1904 to 1967. Arvonne Fraser Library stands as a testament to the evolution of community spaces, offering a haven for knowledge seekers in a setting steeped in tradition.
