Oakdale Library has a new wellness room! The wellness room offers a private space for activities that support wellness, including caring for and feeding children, meditation and prayer, or simply a quiet place to sit.

The room has a comfortable chair, dimmable lighting, a sink, and sensory tools like fidgets and calming tools. It's available for anyone who would like to use it.

This project was supported with funding through the Statewide Health Improvement Partnership, Minnesota Department of Health.
