We want to make your child’s library experience one they will remember. Come enjoy our great spaces, collections, and services for babies through 8th graders.
Program, Play, and Fun Spaces:
While you’re here, be sure to check out all the kid-friendly areas in our 1st floor Children’s area. Attend a Story Time or have fun with LEGOs and board games in the Story Time Room. Play a game of chess or checkers on our custom-made table. Create a fun design on our giant, custom-made Lite Brite board. Or, play games on the J Touch—a giant touch screen filled with kid-friendly apps.
Toddlers can hang out in the board book section and the Imagination Play area. Older kids can do homework or play games on one of the computers in the Children’s area, or they play video games in the Gaming Room located on the 2nd floor of the library. A valid Milwaukee County library card OR a photo ID is required to reserve the Gaming Room, and users under 12 years old must be accompanied by a responsible guardian.
