I got to get some pictures, tie up some loose ends with a very helpful librarian, went on a little side quest to the the second floor in the business room where I found a few amazing books that were showcased. I love that they showcase books as looking through the isles is a little daunting. Using the online portals to sign out books for book check out is an amazing tool. Book drop off drive through is great, don't even have to get out of the car. Parking is by meter conveniently all around block. Lighthouse is so neat! The children's area librarians are incredibly sweet and knowledgeable, you see a lot of the same staff here which is also telling of an environment I feel. Inner city so it sometimes it attracts loitering, but overall it's well kept.

They all seem so genuinely happy to have you visit. For those that don't know, libraries are such an underrated source for everything! Need to learn how to use your computer? Library. Need a free activity to take your baby or child? Library. Want to pickup a new craft? Library. Need to print or fax something? Library. Need help with taxes or finding a job? Library. How about understanding your health insurance? Library. They also have games and book club kits to go just to name a few things.

BOOKS? REALLY! Some…read morepeople believe that libraries are obsolete but I feel that they are an important part of the community. It is a place where a person can meet others or find some quiet time to learn about the world. Everything is so fast paced and Siri asked, sometimes it is nice to do things the old fashioned way. This library started in 1977 with volunteers and only 3000 books. Just 3 short years later it became funded with local taxes. It is currently part of the Kenosha County Library system. The current building was opened in May of 1995. See what can happen with just a few people and a dream. Local libraries are a meeting place for young and old alike. In the summer there are various programs for the kids that include a summer reading program, arts/crafts and special appearances from cool people. For example, a retired guy from NASA is coming in. I hope he brings some moon rocks. Check the website for all of the current things that will be happening. There may be something you want to learn. I saw someone coming in to teach apps on the iPhone. Who needs the Genius Bar when you have this kind of service. The library is separated by age groups with the North Side being for kids and the South Side being for adults. There are books, music and movies available to be borrowed for everyone. I took out "The Internship" with Vince Vaughn & Owen Wilson. It was very funny and I learned how to get a job at Google. Ha! Not really! It's in a library the movie is suppose to be educational. Right? I also grabbed a few books for myself and the little one. There is a meeting room and a few study rooms available. They have a large room that can accommodate 75 people in case you need that and few smaller rooms that hold only 2 people. I'm not sure if it's a closet but it just might be. Just kidding. On the North side of the building outside there is a beautiful garden with flowers and a walking path. I saw a sign mentioning butterflies but I did not see any. This space would be a great place to bring a book out and really relax in nature. The staff is super friendly. After a few visits they will know exactly who you are. I call that great customer service but this is one of the perks of small town USA. Everyone knows your name unlike the big city. So if you live in the area or just happen to be passing through, then The Community Library is worth a visit. This small little library has grown into a large facility that offers many services to the community. So grab a book and read it. It's what we use to do before technology made our world less social.

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.

What a stunning library!…read more Our beach trip to Lake Geneva was mostly rainy. We walked around downtown area to eat lunch. On the way back to our hotel, we popped in here just to dry off and look at the beautiful building. The building is stunning, and the landscaping is lovely. Inside is great as well. The staff were friendly and helpful. The kids section is great. We were lucky and there was a reptile presentation while we were there, which was awesome. They clearly put on good programming.

You have to pay $1.00 to hold on to the book for a week. I'm sorry but this is the LIBRARY. Aren't books supposed to be free to check out? If I'm late to return a book, I'm fine paying a late fee. But having to pay to check out a book? Pretty ridiculous in my opinion. It just seems like they're trying to nickel and dime you.

I believe there should be better noise control. Even staff doesn't try to hold their voices down so there are no example for the public. Restrooms are too far from the publication ory And main computer site. This is important because the elderly and handicapped and maybe others may not be able to walk that far In time to prevent a personal accident a personal accident. I would like to see staff That is not busy and currently visiting circulate to maintain order and be of assistance to patrons. The staff also should have stools so they don't have to stand all day.

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.

They have passes to area venues such as Betty Brinn Museum, The Domes, and even the Zoo. The staff is kind and willing to help with questions and information. What a gem!

I am now looking at the special activities to learn new things, like how to make homemade body butters and sugar scrubs in January.
