Clean restrooms, helpful desk person, free maps (I love maps, you might remember what these are if you're over 50) and tourist brochures. Kind of like Internet access without the ads, porn, and misinformation. Make the time to sit in the rockers on the porch.

A couple of years ago this institution underwent an extensive renovation. At first I was a little…read moreupset that tax dollars were being expended to renovate something that was so nice and already served the community well. However, after seeing the final result, I'm SO glad they did it. What I like most is the covered porch area that extends over the front. I work "at home" on a computer for my job and during COVID this area served me well. Comfortable seating is available and outdoor plugs are available to plug in when needed. I was able to stay out here during moderate thunderstorms and be dry. Inside the History Center, Children's Library, and study rooms have been expanded and updated as well. I'm so thankful this beautiful space is available to me and look forward to using it for years to come.

I never knew what I had until it was gone…read more This might be the best small-town library in the Northwoods. First, some history: I was born and raised in Three Lakes-- and even went to child care (Story Hour, anyone?!) at this Library. One could say I'm a little biased-- but after a recent visit this summer, I was reminded what a great local resource it is. The Best: 1. Great free wi-fi for locals and visitors alike. They even moved the outside picnic table to the side of the library so that even when its closed, people can sit outside on their laptops and use the signal. 2. Computers for all! I love that you don't have to have a card here to utilize their services. A lot of locals still come to the library to use the computers here instead of taking on the burden of buying their own. 3. Great books! Yes, its a library-- but also a library that spans LOTS of different subjects-- the people running this library are great at getting material that covers controversial, conservative, liberal, political and different lifestyle subject matter. While some people think 'small town, small-town mentality' Three Lakes has always been a town that encourages free thought & speech-- and the library's catalog proves that. 4. The Semi-Annual Book Sale!! again, another opportunity that lets the Library shine! And seriously, THE BEST DEAL IN TOWN! Hardcover books for $1, paper backs for 25¢! So many books and audio books to pick from, there is no way you could walk in and not find something you love that you could just sit on the beach and enjoy. The Worst? I have nothing bad to say... this library is awesome!

This used to be my favorite place in Wisconsin. We took a big group up for this holiday weekend and…read moreit was a ghost town. Very few businesses open and the ones that were only catered to the Illinois crowd. It's sad to see a great Northern Wisconsin town that was made from hard working people and logging go to a totally liberal city. Go woke, go broke. Memorial weekend was always a huge tourist boom and income for areas like this and this year it was a complete ghost town. Another place I wouldn't waste my to to come back to. We should have stayed home where the holiday was celebrated. If you visit here you better have an Illinois license plate.

Good Wi-Fi, lots of work space, but yes, a little shortage of electrical outlets. Just charge your batteries before you come here to work. Maybe the best Hodag out in front because it's made of recycled material.

This library is nice, but unfortunately doesn't have much as far as computer space. A lot of people…read morethink that doesn't matter because it's a library but I often go to public libraries for work on the computers. There are 5 computers here, I believe, but only one spot for a laptop to stay plugged in. This is unfortunate for those who are like me who come to a library to do work on their computer. Otherwise the library setting is nice, it is quiet any time I've been here. The classes/children's area are held downstairs so the noise doesn't carry upstairs, at least that I've ever heard. I wish they took card for payments but unfortunately they don't. The library director should consider changing this if possible. It is inconvenient to have to go to an ATM and then split up dollar bills for change (for prints and such).

Clean with antique post office boxes, friendly competent front end staff, plenty of parking. Without the mail, there can be no civilization. If you doubt me, watch "The Postman." Well, maybe not, it's a terrible movie, but I'm telling you the postal service is the cornerstone of our democracy. And this post office is pretty good.
