Best library in suburban Milwaukee. A building with countless study rooms, and conference rooms for public use. A massive selection of books, and a good staff of librarians. It has a tree for the kids to read and play in. It’s an architectural masterpiece inside and out. They also are very involved in the community. Was the best public investment from the city of Franklin.

Great family place. We bike here once a week in the summer and my son cant get enough. It makes him excited to go to the Library. Great place!

We love the Franklin Library! In particular, the children’s area is really nice. There’s a big, fake tree with comfy chairs inside where kids can read, plus toys, puzzles and, of course, books! They are well organized and helpful. Looking for a book on a particular subject? Ask a friendly librarian! If Franklin doesn’t have it, a librarian will help you order it from another library. I highly recommend the Milwaukee County Libraries app — you can put books on hold, search the catalog for all county libraries, renew books, and find out when your books are due. Easy peasy!

I hadn’t really thought to give my public library a review, but it’s better and more useful than most eateries I’ve been to. Of course it has books and magazines(some don’t) plus computers for public use. The youth area is nice with a «tree» for quiet reading. It’s also a hub of community activity with nice meeting rooms for civic organizations. It’s close to the public parks and city hall — and a short walk for my family.

This is a very nice library. Too bad it’s a little far away from other stores, there’s not much in the area but the library is great. It’s huge and have lot’s of reading material the layout is nice and I would probably go back. I like that it’s spaced out and not very crowded

Huge and beautiful modern library. My 4-year-old daughter loves the reading tree. I’ve been to most of the libraries in the Milwaukee county system, and this one is probably the nicest.

I came to this library kind of by accident. I had purpose for being there, I caught wind of a 90 family kids rummage that they hold in one of the halls here, and when I arrived at 11:30, they decided to go on their hour long lunch break(lunch break for a rummage? C’mon, man!). So I decided to explore the library, and boy I’m glad I did. This library is anything you want out of a library. It’s huge and has a ton of materials, but it also has a ton of room so most shelves aren’t cluttered. Books, CD’s, DVD’s, Audiobooks, you name it. Even the children’s area is impressive, they have a huge tree you can sit inside of and tons of kids books. Best of all, they’re part of the County catalogue, so my Milwaukee Public Library card works here. I will definitely be back.

This library is beautiful, and well laid-out. They’re apart of the county cat system, so you can request items to be shipped there, and set aside for you to pick up conveniently. The staff is always friendly, but you can completely bypass them with the easy self-checkout computers!
