It was for the little one!!! What more can I say about this place? There is a great youth section with books for kids. There were also other books but I did not see that 50 shades of grey nor was I really looking for it. I find it sad that is the only current book I know. There are several computers but you need your membership to sign up. Also it is 15 cents to print pages too...how cute is that and it looks like it is on the honor system! I also saw a nice rack of magazines! So this place has everything from print media to books to Internet access! The parking lot is really big, so there is no need to worry about where you are going to put your car. I am glad that Twin Lakes has this place for the community to enjoy!

Unfortunately, internet and technology have made public libraries virtually obsolete. However, they…read morestill serve an important public service. It's stocked with books, magazines, and newspapers on virtually any subject. Best of all, they are completely free, which is all too often forgot. Internet access is also available for free in timed increments. An important note: They do carry some text books, so check here first before paying an absurd amount for a book that you'll only use for a few weeks and save some cash at the same time. Maybe then you can get that pizza instead of Ramen Noodles again.

The Simmons library tour exemplifies the overused term "hidden gem."…read more Kenosha is a nice town and all, but there isn't much to "do" there. My wife and I execute occasional border raids to pillage goodies that we can't get in Chicago (such as New Glarus beer and Jelly Bellys straight from the teat). I like to find other things to do to justify the trip, and on this occasion my wife sniffed out the Simmons tour. What a find for this bibliophile, history buff, and architecture enthusiast. This event surprised me three times: 1. This place exists? In Kenosha?? It's so cool! 2. We will be lonely on this tour, right? How awkward. Nope! There were thirty other guests. 3. There can't possibly be enough to say about this place to fill a 90-minute tour. Wrong! The tour guide (Bob?) was great. He taught us plenty about the town itself and the SImmons family before getting into the library itself. I won't go into the details--just take the tour and hear it all straight from the source. He did a great job. You will learn about architecture, turn-of-the-century midwestern industry, numerous other aspects of history, and even a little library science. You will also see every single room in the building (except perhaps for the restrooms--visit on your own time), even offices and storage spaces. Be prepared to climb some cramped spiral staircases. The last segment takes place in the modest board room where you can pore over several artefacts and documents. Very interesting stuff. Second Saturday of every month, 2:30pm. Check it out!

The Lake Geneva Public Library offers some truly wonderful programming for families, especially for…read moreyoung kids. Their summer reading program is a big hit in our household--engaging, well-organized, and complete with great prizes. We also really appreciate the Pasie's Preschool Play program, which provides fun, thoughtful activities for toddlers every week. The children's section has a unique and well-curated selection of books, including titles from local authors, which is a nice touch. And the library pop-up at the YMCA is super convenient--we're big fans of that outreach effort! That said, parking is a real drawback. On most visits, we end up walking 4-5 blocks just to get there. On rainy days, its impossible to arrive dry with a stroller and two kids. The building itself is historic and charming, but the space is cramped, especially when kids' programs are in full swing. Still, despite the logistical challenges, the quality of the programming and staff makes this a great community resource--especially for families with young readers.

It's a newer library that is two floors of books, books, and more books. They seem to have every section you could want, all the way from children's corner, teen, adult and non-fiction, and reference books. Their computers are state of art, so they served the purpose of what I needed--to print a document. Also, their staff is incredibly courteous. I am not a member of this library, but the staff was quick to help me get a guest pass (bring an ID with you), and get me access to their facilities. If you're looking for a nice place to just work in quiet or enjoy a good book, then this is a good place for you.
