This downtown library has a great collection of books, DVDs, historical materials, music (CDs and sheet/bound) and a really nice children's area. Staff is usually really friendly and willing to help. The second floor Art and Music area is a great place to plug in a laptop with free wireless and a great view looking west towards Marquette University. I just wish they were open later during the week!

Very large library with a great selection of CDs, DVDs, and books, especially graphic novels. Some upstairs rooms are modern, yet have a certain classy vibe. The largest upper room looks out onto the city. Great natural light as are the upgraded self-checkout kiosks. Friendly staff, and the small bookstore always has a good selection.

I'm biased towards this library because it has been my main library since childhood. Staff have been great and very helpful. The turn around time from ordering online to the drive through are quick. My ONLY SMALL knock is that they don't always have updated versions of certain things (like Rosetta Stone or other tutorials) but that's not their fault entirely. I'm happy see their updates and changes. I walk 2 miles for exercise to go here. Love it!

Lately I've been visiting the library closest to where I reside, recently realizing how resourceful they are, they have a comfortable lounging area for device users and most importantly various programs for kids (family cooking, game night, arts and crafts, music production, etc)

I love this entire library with my entire life. They have everything you might ever need when it comes to literature. I taught myself American Sign Language with their supplied books, I taught myself to write better paragraphs, taught myself to take life easier, and so much more! Now, the property might be littered with "Beggars", but they are made sure to not harass people coming in if they want to stay. It is just the kind of city this is, so it's not like they can help this sort of crowd sometimes, at least they leave you alone so don't worry, they have wonderful security!

Two floors (and a third where they store books but nobody is allowed to go there, because archives) worth of education and entertainment, your possibilities are truly endless! This library has the largest selection of books I might have ever seen so far in my bookworm life! Highly recommended!

I love this location. The building itself is elegant and charming, and the children's area is expansive and will keep your kiddos occupied for hours! I love the monthly family events and the used book store.

Easy access to the computers. Printing was easy. Parking was ample. Elevators accessible. Plenty of hand sanitizer. Ot didn't look like they were wiping down the computer stations, so be sure to bring your own wipes or wash hands after use...

I love coming to this library for the books and information I need, everyone is super friendly, helpful and there are a alot of secruity. Its also clean and super organized. But the homeless people ruin everything by standing around outside begging or being loud or sleeping at the computers.

Tremendous facility that is an absolute beauty to behold. It's unfortunate placement in a bit of rundown area can be overlooked as you feel in a different world inside. Really good selection of books and other items. Librarians have been helpful with membership, checking out things, and getting pointed in my searches for literature.

It would be a lot better if so many bums didn't hang out over here. One was staring at me through the crack of the door while I was using the bathroom and started cussing at me for no reason.

This is one of my favorite public libraries in Milwaukee. The building is large and has several sections. The children's section is adorable. They have blocks for kids, a smal tower that kids can play inside, puppets that can be borrowed as well, and lots of books in a variety of different languages including Arabic children's book.

Staff are friendly and very helpful.

In the summer, they have a reading program for both children and adults. My child and little brother loved the reading program/ challenge and felt competent due to very encouraging words they received from staff and also the prizes they got.

Beautiful old building, lobby on the south entrance has nice floor mosaics. The genealogy collection on the 2nd floor is a great resource to research family history. 1000s of books, wide selection of CDs and DVDs. There is a used book store with great deals. A must visit for tourists and if you are a local and do not have a library card you NEED to rectify this and seize the priceless resource.
