I came down from Milwaukee to conduct some foundation research for my grant writing business and…read morethe staff were very friendly and helpful. They got me set up with a visitor ID so I could log in to a terminal however I would recommend bringing your own laptop and just logging in with their wifi. The terminals are only good for 1-2 hours and if you need to be there a full day it's better to just log in on your own laptop; you'll have the same access to everything as on the terminals. Put in a good 6 hours here and got a lot of good research done. The building itself is gorgeous and spacious and fronts a lively little park next to their walkable downtown area. It was a day well spent.

We've been back to a few other adult craft & game nights since, and really enjoy what the local library has to offer. Different activities are hosted monthly by the library and they are really fun! Christina is so creative with the monthly crafts, and such a lovely person to be around. Everyone gets a good laugh and gets to unwind. A few other librarians, like Gabe and Cat, go above and beyond to answer any questions you may have. Sorry I can't remember the rest of the librarians, but you are all so great! Love visiting my local library! Also, can't wait for the remodel of the library to be done next year.

I have visited a couple times and staff has been exceptionally helpful in getting me up and running. The negative reviews here seem to come from Grumpy Old People who don't check facility hours before coming or expect them to provide income tax service.

If you want to inter library something, staff will help and make sure you get it. They also have dollar forgiveness Sunday's which will allow you to pay only $1 if you have a ton of late fees.....but of course, I would never have to utilize this deal! Hint, hint, wink, wink. The children's programs are great here, and I have proof as all three of my children have attended Book Babies, Terrific 2's and 3's, and Fabulous 4's and 5's, and all 3 turned out fairly well....for the most part. They also have other community offerings such as kids craft sessions and Mini Musicians with Ms. Clara, which is also an excellent asset to the Brookfield community in itself. This library recently had the Taste of Brookfield, which was absolutely great! It was a ton of fun with various local vendors such as Burger Antics, Irish Times, Brookfield Ale House, and other establishments providing both food, beer, and wine tastings at one price per person. All of the vendors were very liberal with the food and booze, that I can remember since the beer was definitely flowing. Ha, ha! The proceeds went to the Friends of the Library, very beneficial for them. This is my local library and I continue to utilize their great programs. Definitely a wonderful asset to the Brookfield Community.
