Milwaukee Public Library Tippecanoe Branch

Amazing staff! Lots of new books and recommended picks. It’s my happy place!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this library if you have little ones. Even really little ones! We recently moved to WI and were in an airbnb for 2 weeks between homes and with the dreary rainy and grey weather in this state we were at the library playing and reading almost everyday! I have a 2 year old and 1 year old. Visiting the library has been tough since our little one began to crawl, because there was no safe and easy place for him to play and explore. However, this library location has a designated area for children to play and explore amongst the bookshelves. Coloring and block building too. There were almost always other children which was a treat to keep their engagement and fill that mysteriously long hour from 4PM to dinnertime. It is SO special. I wish we were alway

A library is suppose to be a place of quiet. I encountered a man having a full fledged conversation talking loudly , I told him I can hear your whole conversation. I went to the small librarian desk in the middle of the library the lady told me as long as you can't hear the other person on the phone it's okay .I said when did this become a policy at the library SHE SAID "SINCE CELLPHONES CAME OUT "She went and told the man to be quiet he went right back to his conversation. Why do you have books in a library to read if people can have conversations on their phones . This is unacceptable I got no apology, I WILL NEVER EVER RETURN. This is Illogical

I absolutely adore this library! They have a surprising number of books for their size and the children’s section is really fun for kids probably around the ages of 1-5! Tippecanoe as a little community is the best and their library is too!

Nice staff, clean. Can be loud at times. There's no separate children's area. Kids hang out there which I totally support. Just be aware if you need relative quiet, kids will be talking, laughing at top volume.
