Milwaukee Central Library

Very peaceful and good place to focus on your personal work or business. There's computers and all in one printers etc to handle business and a wealth of information and books on any possible subject you can think of. Been going here since a kid I love it it's a staple in our community thanks to the late grade Andrew Carnegie, a mentor of a mentor Napoleon Hill himself... Peace and Blessings!!!

My husband and I came to the Milwaukee Central Library to view Art Book Club on a Saturday afternoon. It is an informal art book appreciation club that is once a month. The librarians set out art reference books that are centered around a theme. This particular day the theme was Pairings. The books are set out on tables for a couple of hours for viewing. The public can come in and page through these beautiful art books.

Great library with a lot of books, magazines, computers, and resources. There are numerous places for people to sit and work. There are rooms available to rent for various gatherings. The kids area is in its own walled section with a lot of opportunities for kids to engage with texts and materials. The employees seem very kind and the architecture is awesome! I stumbled upon a cool puppet stage and would love to return for a show or childrens activity. I love the Milwaukee library system!

Very beautiful public historic library, it’s free to get in! Beautiful photo point! 💪

Update: went back about two months later and the place still smells offensive. Men walking up and down with earbuds rapping loudly, & nobody says a thing about it. Same urine-soaked man was there again. People off the street loitering and turning it into their "turff". Is this a homeless shelter or a library? The staff is kind, helpful & plentiful; great book selection; beautiful architecture. But it stinks so bad like B.O. and urine which is very offensive. The guard ignored a visibly urine- soaked guy walking up and down the center for at least 2 hours while I was there without saying a word. I understand those are uncomfortable situations but it needs to be addressed appropriately if you want this place to survive and thrive. Patrons should be able to feel confident public chairs are cl
