Eden Prairie schools will be closed Monday, Feb. 21, in observance of Presidents Day. So, too, will Eden Prairie City Center, 8080 Mitchell Road.
Federal, state and county offices are also closed. That includes the U.S. Post Office, all Hennepin County libraries, including Eden Prairie Library, 565 Prairie Center Drive, and the Minnesota Driver and Vehicle Services offices.
Garbage collection is not affected, and most retailers and restaurants are open. Most banks are closed, though.
