Took my one year and two year old kids here yesterday to see some books because my boy loves looking at animal books. When we entered the building we feel like we are not welcome there because the way they looked at us and there's this one lady who kept staring at us. I lived in wausau over 20 years back then when this library used to fill with different kind of races and workers and friendly people. We won't be going there anymore

One of the best libraries I've been to so far. WiFi hotspots, two stories, study rooms. A major selection of DVDs and blu-rays, video games even for PS5 switch etc. Obviously a major selection of books more than the smaller cities around here like Merrill.

Come to this library if you're in town! You won't regret it :))

Very cozy place to read and check out books! Everything is free! They also feature a children's section where there is a small aquarium, a read-along room, and more! They also have a large-print section. That section is helpful because my Mom is low on vision. Overall, I would rate it 4 out of 5 stars!

Great library. They have a great selection of materials. The librarians were friendly and helped us get a library card. They took the time to go over where different types of materials are.

Didn't have to pay to park and I didn't notice anyone loitering outside. Everyone in the library was doing their own thing and enjoying this public service.

It's a great place to read, research, get entertainment. The library was quiet and very large. You can always find a corner or space without people around to read in.

I am a student in Colorado and needed a place to study and do some schoolwork while visiting home. I used to come to this library years ago and it was in much better shape. I went in twice this week to try and do schoolwork and there were no desks or tables available. If there was one, it was just a chair against a wall where I obviously won't be able to work at. All of the tables inside were filled with people who weren't doing any work. Half of them were sleeping or lying over the tables. I was able to get a spot in the teen section today where I watched two people brushing their teeth at the tables and spitting in a trash can. There was one person who kept circling me multiple times where I was sitting and studying which made me uncomfortable and I went to leave. There are multiple people loitering outside and on the stairs to go to the lower parking lot. This used to be a much nicer library to study at but I don't feel comfortable going back there anymore with the amount people loitering inside and outside.

Could not get a library card because I have a virgina ID even though I have a lease from a respectable rental company in wausau. When I asked the girl at the counter she said an ID and proff of address is required. And it can be on your phone. I said I have my Virgina ID because I haven't made it to dmv yet is that okay? She said let me check. I watched her for up to 30 seconds she did nit type nothing on computer or talk with a coworker and said nope we need a Wisconsin ID and to come back later when you get a Wisconsin ID. Did not offer a soulation or a tempary card or nothing. Just made me fell like I was not good enough to get a library card.

Excellent facility for relaxing. Designated quiet areas, knowledgeable and friendly staff, and myriad programs to engage the community. This is one of my favorite places in Wausau.
