Milwaukee Public Library

Located in Milwaukee, WI, Washington Park Library stands as a beacon of knowledge and community engagement. Opening its doors in 2003, it replaced the beloved Finney Library that had served the neighborhood for half a century. The library offers a wide array of services including Wi-Fi, fax, scan station, copying, and printing, catering to patrons of all ages. Boasting an impressive 20,540 sq. ft., Washington Park Library is the second-largest branch in the area, providing ample space for its extensive collections and diverse programming. The library's commitment to sustainability is evident through features like its "green" parking lot and rain garden, as well as its geothermal well system for heating and cooling. Art enthusiasts will appreciate the striking MEGAPHOR sculpture in the lobby, a captivating glass and aluminum creation symbolizing the accumulation and dissemination of knowledge. The exterior is adorned with a bronze statue of Baron Frederick von Steuben, a historic figure commemorated for his role in the American Revolutionary War. Washington Park Library is not just a place of learning but a cultural hub deeply rooted in the community's history and spirit. Generated from the website content
