Before being added to the National Register, East Lake Community Library was locally known as the “Reading Factory”. Currently a retail store, the interior of the building can only be accessed during business hours Monday through Saturday. Local businesses, a grocery store, several restaurants, and the newest East Lake Library now surround this historic landmark.

The Sheraton Minneapolis Midtown Hotel is the closest lodging to the East Lake Community Library and offers guests free shuttle service within a five-mile radius. While the downtown area is a few miles away from the former library, there is a greater choice of affordable hotels there, including University Inn, Hotel Ivy Minneapolis, and Radisson Plaza Hotel Minneapolis.
