Milwaukee Public Library East Branch

"I personally don’t have a problem with this place. It’s very clean, nice environment and really spacious. The only problem I do have is the staff. They’re the reason why this review is getting a one star. First, they’re very rude towards kids. I’ve seen one staff member kick literal kids out in the middle of winter. This particular staff member is very rude and aggressive towards kids. Has a problem with everything they do. She yelled at a teenage couple for just sitting in the same chair as each other and just being a couple in general . Even though they were conscious of their surroundings and showed not as much PDA but only a few kisses and laying up on each other. They weren’t even loud, just minding their own business. But multiple times I’ve catch her being very rude to the students in the Kids section and yelling at them. Second off , they have a problem with everything you do. They basically stalk you. This lady is RACIST . Last but not least my final reason, she’s weird. She follows the kids even outside . But I have no problem with the library itself just the staff. Thank you!"

"Excellent location. Helpful Staff. Beautiful architectural elements. Thanks!"

"Attended a book signing for Never Givin' Up by Kurt Dietrich a biography on Milwaukee native Al Jarreau. A very modern, stylish library!"

"Perfect library. I love the area. They had a really cool book return. Lots of windows for beautiful, natural lighting. While I visited, they were doing storytime in a common area that was fast. I'm not sure what it looks like inside, but it seems pretty neat. :) almost like it was a round room. I'll definitely be back to visit this spot!"

"Decent place to get work done.. Needs more outlets or extensions.. ALL the tables/chairs in the middle don't have any outlets to charge the laptop.. Literally have to compete for two tables that have outlets near the windows.. Otherwise you have to sit at the raised bar/table with the seats that are too low (near the windows) for the table.. Horribly engineered design imo. Go to any other library and there's ample power outlets no matter where you sit!"
