This is the only library within walking distance of us and I have to say, it’s a pretty good one!
Their adult section isn’t huge. But I usually just request books in the system and pick them up. Impressive adult section not required.
The children’s library is fantastic. The librarians are fantastic and friendly. The story times are engaging and the crafts afterwards are adorable. The play area is small but my kids always find something to engross themselves in.

We have been going to this library for years with our kids. The staff has always been professional, helpful, and friendly. Its in a great location, its right next to a nice park. There is stop light between the park and library, so its easy and safe to take your kids to the park and then pick up some books afterwards. If they do not have a particular book you are looking for at this branch, you can always order the book online and pick it up at this branch. We have used this service for years and have not had any problems. In regards to parking, if you can bear to walk less than a block, perhaps two depending upon what time you go. Its not that bad. Its also near the Jefferson Park Transit Center (METRA, CTA, PACE). It is a no frills, small neighborhood library. I am grateful to have this library in the neighborhood.

Parking SUCKS. This is my first time here and I am FURIOUS. They have a TINY parking lot and spent 15 minutes going around around looking for a parking spot. and I REFUSE to pay for parking. Not to mention getting to this dang library is hard because of all the one ways and curves of the streets.
Don’t come here to study. Hardly any study space. If you’re a person who gets distracted easily (like me), don’t bother coming to study. Ugh.

This is a very convenient location and it has a great children’s section. As other reviewers noted, the adult selection is relatively limited, but since it’s so easy to use the website to have any book from the CPL transferred and held at the local branch, I don’t find it to be an issue. I’ve found the librarians to be polite and helpful.

This is the library where I grew up — the children’s section is remarkable! Aside from the Harold Washington branch, Jefferson Park is the most child-​friendly public library. This is among the reasons why I loved reading so much as a kid (and today).
Imagine my disappointment when I outgrew the children’s branch. The adult section is outdated at best. Normally, I order books online to hold at a certain location; I live by Bezazian but pass Jefferson Park on my way to work. I used to hold books at Jefferson Park and, if my ordered book isn’t there, I’d just pick one from the shelves. Because of the poor selection, I stopped using Jefferson Park for this process.

We had a really nice visit to the Jeff Park CPL branch. We checked out the kiddie section and picked out some great board books. There were lots to choose from, and they were at a great height for my little one to pick them out herself. They also had toys, puzzles, and tables at baby height.
When we went to check out, a nice young man behind the counter helped us. We were also treated nicely by two staff members (don’t know if they were librarians or para-​professionals).
All-​in-​all, a nice visit. We plan to come back for the Weds. toddler story time as well.

Despite this being my neighborhood branch, and the one I most frequently visit, I am usually met with rudeness and resentment. The couple of times I’ve conversed with the librarian in the adult section, I have been treated more like a human, but those check out people need to go.
Every time I visit, I make a point of saying «Hello, how are you?» and I rarely get any type of response. Sometimes I wonder if a friendly greeting just prolongs the length of time it will take someone to look up to see who is at the counter.
Sadly, it’s the one library in walking distance, so I’m stuck going there most often…
