Manning Branch, Chicago Public Library

Absolutely love this library! Big parking lot that's pretty empty, and the only library around that I've found that organizes their children's books by category instead of author, so it's great being able to browse. Everyone is super friendly and helpful, answered my phone for me when I left it there and let me know it was with them 😂 also they have awesome freebies that rotate every so often, my children got this great science kit and I got a photo storage box! AND as if this isn't enough great stuff, they are like a little hidden gem because their museum passes are almost always available!!! This is my go-to library with my children :)

Quiet and helpful. I wanted to participate in a class that was to be held at 6:00 but I had to leave earlier than I was intended, so I missed the session.
