Thomas Hughes Children's Library 400 South State Street, Chicago, IL 60605

"Located on the second floor. Easiest to get to by elevator. Pretty impressed with the amount of toys and other activities besides books. They have these cute play areas set up. Biggest children’s section I’ve seen in a library."

"Loved it. Lot of activities for kids. Love the family story time. Whenever I take my kid she enjoys. Thanks for Hughes children librarians to arranging new activities."

"Couldn’t help but feel stoic as I explored each level of this massive and grand space! My daughters and I marveled at the architecture and the magnitude of it all. Level 2 was the reason for our visit a must for any child. Unfortunately we are merely guest on vacation but I’m so glad we were able to take a few moments to marvel at it all. Must be a true experience to get to work here."

"We love this library and the best location ❤️ My son and I started visit this location since when he was 4 months old for Tummy Time. After several months, now we are coming for Baby Time and I love the way I see the progress every weeks how he enjoys the library time"

"I think the best part is the diversity of the available kids' books. Classics and the latest titles, from different countries, as well as cool ones catering to the youngest readers but still speaking on current events. The facilities are well-maintained (the pop-up books are pristine when you might imagine they would be worn out given the age of the readers), the place itself is beautifully set up, and there are plenty of activities for kids. My only complaint is the floor outlets. Somehow they "spit out" my phone charger and my friend's laptop plug every few minutes. At first we thought none of the outlets were working but they were just loose. We tried about four different spots and they all act the same."
