DFL group barred from using Columbia Heights Public Library

It’s been routine for some DFL residents within Senate District 41 to gather at the Columbia Heights Public Library, but this past week the library abruptly barred them from meeting there just days ahead of Tuesday’s caucus.

DFL members voiced their frustration and concern over a new interpretation of the city-owned, public library’s policy at Monday’s City Council meeting. District 41, represented by DFL Sen. Carolyn Laine, includes north metro communities of Columbia Heights, Fridley, New Brighton, St. Anthony and Spring Lake Park.
