I've been to this library many many times. Great book selections and very helpful and kind staff…read more They have 5 study rooms that are first come first serve, 1 large (max 8-10) and 4 small (max 2). 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!

The library that feels like home. I cannot even begin to express how professional, personable, and…read morelikable the staff is here! They have the best social media presence and very educated staff. The process to get our library cards was so simple and everything we needed was found online ahead of time, so we were very prepared. Plus we got free stickers with our membership cards! Everything was so accessible and in a peaceful environment. For a smaller building it feels very spacious with distinct areas for quiet and privacy. Study areas, computers, and a printing station - all quality equipment and easy to use. While it may have a smaller inventory they still offer an incredible variety and you can always request a transfer. There's a decent amount of parking behind the building in addition to a 15 minute zone just to the side where the book drop is. I absolutely love returning to this location, and I'm so grateful for the love and support shown to the community here.

Stopped by this library for a specific book that I wanted to check out. The library itself is…read morepretty small. Limited parking in the back and it's located off a busy intersection. Inside they had a large children's area, computers, and plenty of friendly staff. Definitely would recommend stopping by if you are looking for a quiet place to read, study, or work.

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!

I am also puzzled why this is Bay space View instead of the actual neighborhood and library name,…read moreBayview. Anyway, good public library with great Tik-Toks. Sunny friendly inviting location with excellent librarians and not just a good selection of books, but access to lots of audio versions of books, music, movies and comfortable seating to read, contemplate, or zone out. They have newspapers here, if you've ever heard of that sort of thing.

This is my local library that I use very often. The staff is always friendly and willing to help…read more The app is user-friendly when I order books, and they are always ready and easy to find when I need to pick them up. It can also be contactless, where you can check yourself out if needed. It's a very bright and open space with lots of natural light and windows. All in all, I enjoy this library and am excited that the inside opened up after Covid. Keep up the good work!

Personally, I'm used to larger libraries, but this one has a nice collection, staff is friendly,…read moreand the place is quite convenient. Most of the time, I can park right in front of the door. If there's something I want that they don't have, chances are that their interlibrary loan can send it within a few days. The CD, DVD, video game and "thing" collection is great. We've utilized the zoo pass. I brought my toddler to story time reading, but the reader shouted for various characters' parts and it scared her. Maybe we'll try again another season. While they have a fair amount of meetings and activities, I wish they had more. I've been a bit spoiled enjoying some of Franklin Public Library creative programming.

I'm extremely disappointed in the Waukesha Public Library. I went to check out a book, but when I…read morelooked at the cover it was marked as a "rental." You have to pay $1.00 to hold on to the book for a week. I'm sorry but this is the LIBRARY. Aren't books supposed to be free to check out? If I'm late to return a book, I'm fine paying a late fee. But having to pay to check out a book? Pretty ridiculous in my opinion. It just seems like they're trying to nickel and dime you.

The NOISE in this library is well beyond what should be considered normal for any library, even…read moretoday, with politeness and common courtesy thrown to the wind and cell phone interruptions ruling the day. Unfortunately, HALF of the library staff are lacking in professionalism and etiquette skills, which only burden the other half that strive for and offer same. Unfortunately, it is my opinion that a few of those exhibiting the lesser qualities would probably be thinking that SHE is one of those offering the professionalism! The half offering this unprofessional, snooty and even catty attitude towards certain patrons is the very Director herself, one Ms Leann Lehner. At her best, she's a hostess overseeing a party atmosphere and hovering around the main library counter, striving for popularity and pomp. Hardly the attitude required for professionalism in such a position. Hang around long enough, and you are likely to witness a display of emotional immaturity, the likes of what you might expect at a McDonald's or in an office where there is not enough actual work to be done, so trivial matters, opinions, and whimsicality create the environment of self-centeredness and self-importance. Of course this is my opinion, but it is my EXPERIENCE as well, and for some reason, a google review I left similar to this one has somehow DISAPPEARED, while the more positive "reviews" remain! The internet is not a true public voice after all, and a hidden hand is at play manipulating the truth that can be had by hearing the opinions and experiences of several, rather than a hand-picked few voices chosen for the content desired. I've lived in a number of towns, both large and small, and NOT A SINGLE ONE has offered the poor environment that this one has. NOT ONE! And the sad part is, that years ago, THIS library used to be as quiet and studious as all the others. Maybe even more so. The directors prior to this one actually made the effort necessary to create a serene place in which serious study could take place that all the other area libraries seem to manage to offer. This latter fact pushes aside any possibility that this is the "norm" now and that humanity has grown beyond the requirements of the libraries of old. The problem is IN this library, and it needs to be addressed. For now, if you are visiting to work on a legal brief (court house is across the street) or working on a mentally challenging paper, or something of such nature, ENJOY THE PARTY!!! It will very likely test your will and concentration skills.
