this is such a wonderful library-- very helpful librarians and resources for all sorts of people. I came here to study but other times I bring a baby to the children's floor, etc.

Needed a place to spend some time on a cold day while in town with a toddler. The children's area is great. Lots of toys in addition to books. A wonderful place.

While the Urbana Library isn't as new as the Champaign Library, I prefer it. They have a larger collection of older books(I like old mysteries), as the Champaign library used to be a lot smaller and didn't have room to keep as many books. Urbana also has the county archives. They added a coffee shop a few years ago and a reading room.

I enjoy looking over the various books and microfilms they have for research for my family tree. The librarians that work there are very knowledgeable and helpful. If you want to do research for local history this is the place to look!

A comfortable spot to have tea and read in a lovely public library. Better ambiance than most cafe's . Bravo Urbana Public Library, for creating such a welcoming space!!!

Having the benefits of being in a campus community there is a wonderful schedule of events in this modified old building. The collection of books and magazines is very good and the setting is very relaxing.

This library has a great children's area, a coffee shop, a wonderful new fiction section, expansive music and video choices, and extremely helpful staff. My family loves it. I can't wait to take advantage of their programming.

An outstanding library for a town of 40,000. The DVD collection is quite varied from the norm, especially the international films. The book collection is known for its depth. If you're reading a series, they will have the whole series, not just the most recent ones. Great public service staff at Reference and checkout.

Everything about the library is great - the collections, the archives, the super-friendly staff, the onsite cafe, the events and much more. What is not to be liked?

Lovely atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff. An ideal American public library.

The free library is awesome and has a vast collection of books and DVDs. On the second floor is the genealogy reference section. There are several computers and computer attached microfilm viewers. They can get in films from Salt Lake. There is a good selection of Illinois and Eastern states reference books. Reference center closes at 5pm-my only wish is that it stayed open a little bit later. Do sign the book every time you go in-that is how they show their need for funding. More visits= more stuff <G>. I would put this place on par with Allen County IN - just in miniture. Parking is an experience here.
