I absolutely adoringly love our Wichita Ks public library!! I remember our kindergarten class going there in the 1970's and I was mesmerized at all the wonderful books everywhere and how helpful and nice the people were that worked there. We lived in a small town just outside of Wichita and our library there was a small one bedroom house before it was a library. It had a wonderful children's room that us kids visited all the time to look at books together and if the librarian wasn't busy , she would gladly read books to us. Wichita library is the same way to this day. They love our kids and try to help them explore and learn and most importantly, develop a love for reading. Great resources for the patrons, students and professionals and everyone that is interested in research or simply reading. Staff is always amazingly helpful and look like they delight in doing so. Just a few super fabulous reasons why my family and I love the place. They have taught me a lot through letting me read and discover even when I had next to nothing money and was a temporary resident at the women's crisis center. Reading books got me through a rough time. The library card and use was free but a fine had to be paid by anybody overdue getting the material returned late. That's more than fair. That's a gifted blessing from the library and its friends that fund it and keep it going. Many thanks to all for that gift. The building always clean and nice. The environment not as good I hate to admit. People don't keep their children in check while there. Running a muck squealing yelling. The staff has always prided themselves on keeping people quiet. Anymore they can't without offending the parents and getting attitude and noise on top of what the kids were doing. It's a society issue now I guess. We were taught better and we did better out of respect. That being the only bad thing I have to say about it is pretty darn good I think. I still say , ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 Stars for our library 📚

The downtown branch is a treasure. I went once a week when I was a kid, and now I get to check out The same books in The same room with my kids! The children's room staff is beyond compare. Summer reading program is an awesome incentive to keep kids interested. I will shed a few tears when this building no longer holds all the books and memories I hold so dear.
