Racine Public Library

1) The library has respectable hours. I live in an area where every time I want to go to the library it happens to be closed! Kudos to however this library is being funded.
2) The books are taken care of. They don’t look like they’ve been sitting untouched for decades. They look clean and in good condition.
3) Checkout is a breeze. You can be checked out or you can enjoy self checkout by scanning your card at a separate kiosk type deal near the counter.
4) You don’t have to visit the library to checkout books! The Racine Public Library has an online checkout process that allows us to checkout electronic copies of popular books and read them on our devices.
5) You don’t have to visit the library to return books you checked out at the library. There are drop boxes around the city where you can return books although it seems like they move from time to time. I thought there used to be one by Kohl’s Food. I also thought there used to be one near Starbuck by the post office. Recently though, I found it at Lockwood Park on Ohio. All more convenient than going downtown to return books.
6) This library partners with other area libraries so you aren’t limited to what is in the Racine location.
7) Location, location, location! It’s so nice to have that whole wall of sunshine while shopping for books. This library is a very welcoming environment where you want to sit and read or research for a while. If you sit near the lake, it’s a beautiful view you simply cannot beat.

A public library next to the lake with one of the best views for any library you will ever find. It is a nice spacious place with a helpful staff and great parking to check out books and then make a stroll along the lake. Not much more to say about this awesome public place
