This library is a work of art. It has everything. Wheelchair accessibility, it’s bright and airy, two sets of bathrooms on each floor, the staff is fantastic, I have never had a problem getting anything I wanted or needed from the collection. They even have a dedicated play area for the kids, even quiet places set away for kids to independently play or read and comfortable chairs spaced out for anyone to relax and read. They have meeting rooms, computers and tablets for use, and quiet rooms.

The library is really neat! The selection is amazing too! Most staff are super nice as well!Some staff are not friendly unfortunately. Received implicit bias from them on multiple occasions and won’t be visiting anymore sadly because of them.

Nice, quiet, clean. We were happy they allowed us to book a room to work on our charity event.

I have never lived in a town with such a dynamic library! There are writers programs, and programs to help people who want to start businesses, and they are building expanded facilities in the basement for doing sound recordings...oh, yeah, and they have books. I've seen libraries that want to do away with books. Which seems dumb to me. They have a great collection of videos, too.My favorite part, though, is walking into the building. The lobby is an art gallery with a new installation of art every season. It never fails to make me smile when I walk in!

Fantastic library, I feel like you can always find something exciting here. The children's area has a really lovely play space, with lots of cool, interactive art and toys for a variety of ages. There are comfy chairs with chargers for the guardians, and all gender restrooms with changing tables. The adult sections are well stocked, and the librarians have always been friendly and eager to help. The cafe is tiny but mighty, and has a good selection, including both snacks and sandwiches. There's lots here to discover - this is an award winning library for a reason, and there's a wealth of programs and resources to tap into, both in person and online. This is also a LGBT+ safe space. I remember the library as a magical place as a kid (let's be honest, even as an adult) and I look forward to showing my kids that.

Gradually turning into a combination homeless shelter and call center. In which people sit and sleep or sit and make all their personal and business phone calls with no attempt at keeping their voices down. Maybe enforce some decorum.

This library is beautiful! Truly one of our favorite places. Not only do they have amazing collections, but the space is beautiful. There's a wonderful children's section with a technology space and a play space. They offer a wide variety of classes and groups for all ages. It's a perfect place to study, work, or just relax and enjoy the quiet.

I am a member of the Champaign Public Library. I don't owe a late fee, wasn't causing trouble, wasn't being loud, had my stuff in a corner out of the way. Looking for resources for a place to stay and cool from the heat and the manager guy walked up to me and said we can't accommodate you and you have too much luggage with you and made me leave. I thought Champaign was better than this.
