    This neighborhood library was once down Milwaukee Av. Tight space, always full. Glad to still be a part of the new one, more space and sunlight.. Staff have their days more often than not! :)

    Use your library card to check out FREE passes to Brookfield Zoo, Art Institute, Field Museum, and many other cultural attractions.

    Tu a.m. playtime on the second floor. Escape the rain or heat this summer and give your kids an opportunity to play with others!

    How about some handicapped accessible outlets for electronic devices. Just a thought.

    Watch out for the portly, surly clerks who emphatically enforce their authority as you wait in the queue!

    steer clear of the guy walking around in a suit. He'll nail you for petty infractions! (chewing gum, listening to voicemail, etc)

    Really rude employees, if you don't mind waiting while they sort and organize books then by all means enjoy
