    This said, the Middleton library used to be wonderful, absolutely wonderful, and not that long-ago either, right up to the pandemic.

Usually the few weeks before every election, city of Madison residents can vote early at the library. It's easy, convenient and if you aren't registered, you can even register to vote as well. Need some tax forms for your taxes this year, the library has that too. Need to look something up on the public computers, come on by and log in with your library card. Borrow books, CDs or DVDs all for free if returned by the due date. There is a section of rental books that charge $2 per day for a total of 14 days (usually for new and popular high demand books). Otherwise the library really has everything.

It is clean and quiet…read more Many of the books I have looked for were not readily available in-house, but it doesn't take very long to receive holds (well, assuming there is not a huge waitlist for whatever you're reading). Staff are always friendly and polite and quick to help. I really love their selection of DVDs and CDs. I always forget the library has these offerings! They share a small parking lot with a few other businesses; so, parking can be a drag sometimes. All in all, I'm glad this is the library branch that is nearest my house!

    We actually came here as out-of-towners during a snow storm... we had a bit of time to kill and my…read moreson needed to move! We had to check out of our hotel and in an effort to find a place to go for a little sensory/movement, I stumbled upon this place! So glad we did. I'll speak only to the kid's section, but the rest of it was definitely clean and spacious. The kid section is in the corner... so not disruptive. They can roam freely in the open space and you only have to corral them into the corner! There is a train set table, coloring books, colors, manipulatives, puzzles, and all kids of fun pretend-play toys. And of course...books! The parking isn't so super and the entrance to the driveway nearly too my bumper with it! But overall, this place was the perfect getaway for us and a much-needed opportunity for my son to stretch his legs before our 2.5 hour drive back to Chicago.

    This is a wonderful library for families…read more The children's section is spacious and set off to the side with a great variety of books. My kids are able to find a big stack of books that they are excited to check out each time we visit - and we visit at least weekly. The books are organized well and there is room to sit down and read. The kids programming is wonderful. The librarian remembers kids names and greets them as they come in. My kids love Ms. Rebecca. She makes the sessions engaging and fun. We have done science classes, art classes, and general story times - they have all been well done. I don't do a lot of browsing for books here but I often find one at the "too good to miss" shelves on the way to the kids section or I just put books on hold to grab on our way in. It is a wonderful neighborhood library.

    Reposting my review from Google Maps…read more.. The Waunakee Library ought to be the model for all public libraries in the country. I don't live in Waunakee but spend a good amount of time here helping care for my grandparents. I've been coming to Waunakee library pretty much everyday this past week to do work and I'm in love with this place. The facilities, the warm and welcoming staff, the events programmed, the availability of study/meeting rooms-- I've never been to such fantastic library. The fact that there is also gender neutral bathrooms is also incredibly comforting for a trans person like me. Also, shout out to the folks who designed the layout of the sections. I don't think most folks realize that you can rent movies and TV shows from the library so having that section near the entrance is smart. It's all so thought out. And I discovered that the libraries also have a free streaming service you can access at home too (which has been a game changer for my grandparents). Hands down my favorite part of Waunakee!

    This library is small, but quite charming. There are two levels and the children's section is my…read morefavorite. There is a really good selection of books and they do a nice display to make it easy for children to spy a book they like based on the cover. My five year old chooses based on familiar characters, princesses and pink sparkles. Mom usually throws something else new or classic in there to mix it up. There are also really cute toy stations of a barn with animals, a train track table and some Legos. There is comfortable seating spattered throughout the room that invites you to sit and read. Upstairs is more adult friendly with a good selection of fiction/non fiction/magazines/audiobooks/computers to use/a section of "popular" books. Books are organized well by genre and in alphabetical order by author. There is also a hidden gem of books that are free...a fun way to add some new books to your collection. I have met most of the staff in my visits and they have all been kind multitaskers and they hand out a lot of information. The library calendar is full of events including a book club and toddler time. This library though an older building and small(ish) had a really decent selection in books and if what you want isn't there they would assist you in finding it at another location. It is well worth a visit.

    The Sun Prairie Public Library is such a beautiful place and has activities for people of all ages…read more The summer reading challenge for children (beginning at 6 months all the way high school) is amazing. They have so many cool prizes like free passes to the Milwaukee Public Museum, the state fair, a mallard's game, etc. They also have an adult summer reading challenge as well as a fall one. I participate in both each year and they have gift card raffles & small prizes for adults too which is awesome! The library also hosts lots of cool events like author events, puzzle competitions, historical events, etc. There are SO many things to do and get involved with and opportunities to learn. They also have an incredible collection of books and "book club bags" complete with multiple copies of popular books and a question guide for book clubs! They're currently doing an expansion and amphitheater as well. So grateful to have such an amazing library. Check it out if you haven't!

    I love this library. Love it. It is beautiful and quite large with a quiet room full of magazines…read more(you can check out the ones from the previous months), piles of documentary DVDs, quiet corners to sit/hide in, screened porches that are open during the non-winter months, four self-check stations, an open area where you can fetch your own holds (and thanks to the wonders of technology you don't have to worry about somebody snaking your long-awaited stuff away from you), bunches of computers with access to the internet (even if you had to bring your impatient 3-year-old who thinks the word 'quiet' means 'be louder'), and a great used-book store run by some very sweet retirees. And that's just the stuff I've used. There are two different graphic novel sections: one for adults and one for kids. Finally, maybe my *most* favorite thing, is the Staff Picks section. It's mostly books but with a few DVDs too; I've found some worthy stuff there. There are dedicated children's librarians, friendly people at the information/reference desk (with little plaques that say please interrupt us), and book returns both inside and out. I've always been pro-library, but this place is just unbelievable. I feel so lucky to live near it.
