    Very nice neighborhood library with excellent staff and a good ambiance. Lot's of interesting…read morecommunity interest events scheduled here but I come here for the books. There's also a good selection of books on CD for car trips and all sorts of other media formats but it's also a comfortable place to get some work or day dreaming done. If their dedicated parking lot fills up it's still easy to park within walking distance but the location is easy for Southsiders to bike to and its well served by public bus. Architecturally it's an interesting round 1960s era building, and of course libraries make one a more well rounded individual.

    The Library of my Formative Years. My grandmother used to live across the street. When I went…read morethere, it was the Oklahoma Avenue library. It was renamed in 1984 to honor the late Congressman Clement J. Zablocki who represented the area in the United States House of Representatives for more than three decades from 1948 to 1983. It's always been very a heavily used resource in the Jackson Park neighborhood, as there are several schools within walking distance. For a small neighborhood library, this one kicks ass. I studied here all thru my Junior High School and High School years, and my parents still go here every week to load up on library books, DVDs and CDs (they are frugal, you know). They have reading groups here for kids and a great collection of periodicals. I fed my reading obsession here - that I still possess, growing up. The building itself is interesting. It's a round building, built around a center round courtyard. Very modernist, and an unusual structure for the south side of Milwaukee.
