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.

The library is one of the few social services that people *seem* to agree on or perhaps the…read moreannihilating gaze of the anti-everything crowd just hasn't settled on it yet. 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!

Lots of options at this library branch. They offer a nice variety of non-book items including…read moreexplorer passes, puzzles and games, even sports equipment like snowshoes and yoga balls! It appears they also have a nice garden outside so you may want to check it out in the summer.

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

I think this is a great, little library! First, it's open 8-8 most days, where most local libraries…read moredon't open until 10 or 11. Second, I just love the kids' area. There's books, of course, but there's also fun stuff for kids to climb on, color, and snuggle with. I agree that the creepy painter statue at the front entrance needs to go, but overall I have no real complaints about this library. There are a lot of book and media options and the librarians are friendly and helpful. Aside from my kid (who has difficulty using his 'inside voice'), I've never known it to be a noisy place. Rather, it's a cozy nook in quiet downtown Greendale that's worth a visit ... or five.

Cute little library…read more The staff are friendly and very helpful. They have a good collection of audio books, CDs, and plenty of books. Cute kid-oriented stuff throughout. It's not a huge space but sometimes that's better when you're in a hurry. Plenty of parking and there's the normal outdoor book return to the right of the entrance.

This library has an extensive multi-media library and even offers access to an impressive collection of DVD's, audio books and games. If I had a third hand I'd give them three thumbs up!

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.

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!
