People have asked me where the U of MN Rochester, which opened in 2008,
keeps their books. They do not have a library in their new facility and
at this point I don't believe they intend to add a library.
This has info on their "information commons" - as you can see from the
photo - computers only.

UMR students have access to all of the University of Minnesota
Libraries’ online resources for their academic programs, including the
catalog, periodical indexes and full text articles. Books and other
printed materials may be obtained from the University of Minnesota
Libraries through document delivery or interlibrary loan. Students
should contact the Information Commons staff to assist them with their
requests.
