For a newer building, this library seems tiny to me. Perhaps I somehow haven't seen all of it yet?…read moreAdmittedly, I don't spend much time in here. With CountyCat up and running, I can reserve books from home and be in and out of the library in just a few minutes. The self checkouts are a nice feature, if only the computers weren't so persnickety! The lobby is huge, which I like, a lot. No having to move out of the way when reading the bulletin boards, and the windows let in a lot of light! 21/2015

Never got to share my experience from the other day. I actually saw that this is a popular…read morephotographer spot since the architecture is a selling point of this place itself. I got to get some pictures, tie up some loose ends with a very helpful librarian, went on a little side quest to the the second floor in the business room where I found a few amazing books that were showcased. I love that they showcase books as looking through the isles is a little daunting. Using the online portals to sign out books for book check out is an amazing tool. Book drop off drive through is great, don't even have to get out of the car. Parking is by meter conveniently all around block. Lighthouse is so neat! The children's area librarians are incredibly sweet and knowledgeable, you see a lot of the same staff here which is also telling of an environment I feel. Inner city so it sometimes it attracts loitering, but overall it's well kept.

I was harassed and questioned by library manager Heather NcSorley about what I identified as. I do…read morenot and no longer recommend using this library. Go to another location. Instead of using the drive thru and being questioned about what I identify as I will use the inside self checkout to not have any interactions with the staff. Never have I ever been to a library with people so rude and disrespectful

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.

Earlier this summer someone told me about free sewing classes at Franklin Public Library. I signed…read moreup and was pleasantly surprised by the vast amount of free activities at this library. There are so many different things to try. And, they have a Creative room where people can use shared craft supplies, legos, STEM toys, etc. For the sewing class, I do have to bring my own machine, but I see the shelves have rubber stamp and crochet materials; I'm sure there is more but I haven't really taken the time to look through them. It makes me jealous that my local town's library doesn't have nearly as many offerings! I'm really grateful for this library, their inclusiveness, and the plethora of recreational activities they provide for the community.

For those who are looking for diversion and entertainment, a work of fiction, a newspaper, a magazine, maybe movies or compact discs are available. The have an excellent selection of analog assets. For those interested in being well informed, as of now, this is also a fabulous resource of non-fiction tomes. You can get information on nearly any topic. If you use some common sense and discretion selecting a resource it may be filled with thoughtfully considered and often actual factually backed evidence. The thing might even offer a depth of information to build real understanding and vision of a topic beyond click-bait and trigger memes. They have a hold system so if you know what you want you can just wait for them to pull it and run in for it without browsing. Additionally, there is a drive up drop off making the whole process painless. You can even get the smart phone app and use your card to check out audio and e-books, videos and other materials without even leaving your sofa. If you haven't been in a while or don't have a card, you owe it to yourself to check this place out!

Writing a review for a library is amusing to me.

But obviously not all public libraries are the same. I've been meaning to visit this library since I moved to Milwauke, but I never made it happen. So, I was delighted that the Tosa Library was very close to my last errand of the day which happened to be in Wauwatosa. Such a lovely, sunlit space with creative and quirky art that refected this community. I roamed the teen, children's, and adult sections and was delighted to encounter helpful staff in each section. A true highlight and community asset of Tosa!

The rooms are especially helpful on the rather busy days when the library isn't always so quiet. The children's area is great! There's always crafts to do and mini scavenger hunts that get changed about twice a month. Also seasonal reading challenges that get kids excited to read and win prizes. They also have legos, a train set, and a play grocery store. It's definitely worth a visit for any ages!
