    Love this library! Very clean, and modern aesthetic, and super helpful employees. After the main…read morelibrary temporarily shut down I started coming here exclusively and it's now my favorite location. Not super big but if you can't find what you're looking for, you can always request it to be sent here, or find it on one of their huge online databases. This location has a good amount of computers available for use and also uses self-checkout kiosks that are really handy and efficient. Love the service this library provides and would definitely recommend it.

    Like many libraries of the state it offers a wide variety of service. One special feature it has…read moreis private rooms you can use for 30minute slots. You will need to sign up for these, and you can do it online. You can use it longer for 30min if no one signs up for your room after your time is up. That rarely happens but we've been lucky a few times. I also believe it was one of the better dvd collections on TV series. And, some of it goes back to the 80s. There are complete sets of Star Trek, including the original series from the 60s. When you enter the library, to the immediate left is the bookstore where you can buy donated books or books the library no longer need. There is a wide and vast collection here. Definitely something for everyone and anyone. Further down to the left is the cafe where you can sit in there if you order something. Wifi is available through the library as well as the cafe. That makes it a nice place to chill while surfing online. To the very back is the children's books. There are educational toys there too. Plus, educational dvds that can help your child learn in a fun way from reading and writing, math, science and sounds. The staff here is exceptionally kind and friendly. They do not have the hard nose attitude as most librarians have. And, that's why we loved coming here. The problem here is the parking. It can get very tight with many cars pulling in and out. And that's what makes it really difficult is there is only one way in and one way out. During the busy times I've seen cars get stuck bc they were trying to maneuver the limited space. With all that going on it still does not hinder us coming here. It's a good library.

    One of the first things I do when I move somewhere is go to their local library and see what it's…read morelike. Coming from an actual city, and being in Janesville, I was prepared to see a few copies of a phone book, someone's yearbook from the '70s, and maybe a few old Dean Koontz novels with the jacket cover taped back on, and some pages missing. I was definitely in for a pleasant surprise. While they don't always have all of the latest books you'll have on your GoodsRead list, and they aren't open on Sundays, this is a very nice little library, and definitely the best community asset to Janesville. When you get a library card you get to choose between white or teal cards. The ground floor is a cafe, with seating where people are sometimes seen playing chess with strangers, or enjoying books that they've purchased, or picked up for free, as you can just drop off books there for people to grab, and also the "community room" which can be reserved for large meetings/gatherings. Other, smaller rooms are available on the second floor for anyone to reserve or request, as well. The second floor has a hold shelf for reserved books (you can put a hold on books online or at the library), self check out stations, an employee recommends section that lists what genres those employees are into so you know if their likes are a good fit for you to choose from, and all the the books. There's also a bulletin board with a listing of all sorts of local events going on in Janesville, and some going on in the library. There's a table with hand sanitizer and lotion. The real thing here is the events. This library hosts so many events and does so much for the community. It's truly impressive. The only thing I dislike about this library is that the return slot inside the library is not clearly labeled at all, and I wandered around like a fool until I saw other people slowly putting their items one at a time into a small, unlabeled, conveyor belt hole in the wall one at a time, and asked them if that was it. Haha. All the employees are hella nice. According to the website, there are other return sites for the books, including Woodman's, which I've also done a review on. Woodman's is open 24 hours a day, so if you're out getting your groceries in the middle of the night and need to return your library book, you can kill two birds with one stone, theoretically. I've yet to do so. I have attended a writing workshop here, an open mic event, a support group, and picked up a free craft project. I've only lived here a couple months.

    This place was fantastic. Not only was the building architecture lovely you can really tell that…read morethe community cares and puts money into this place. The self service kiosks were awesome, we'd never seen those before. There were loads of tables, computers, and seats to sit in where you could read. All of the windows are fantastic and the view overlooking the river makes those reading places super idealic. Outside there are places to sit and sculptures to enjoy as well as read again over looking the river. Also the book clubs in a bag are also a fantastic idea. This place made us really jealous of the people in Janesville, we wished our local library was even half as nice.
