In 1995 Siouxland Libraries was created out of merger of the Sioux Falls Public Library and the Minnehaha County Rural Public Library. This new system provides services to all residents of the City of Sioux Falls and Minnehaha County (with the exception of Dell Rapids, which operates an independent library), at twelve locations and with one bookmobile.
The library is supported by city and county taxation and governed by a Library Board appointed by the Sioux Falls City Council and Minnehaha County Commission. The management of the library facilities and services is the responsibility of the Library Director and staff.
