Yelp.com Review - by Erin C.

2.0 of 5 stars. Nice library...just don't go there if you want to check out books, because you'll wait in line for fifteen minutes or more while a solitary, morose staff person checks out books at a rate of one…

5.0 of 5 stars. I think this is a great neighborhood library. I'm a nerd. I love libraries. It would be hard to turn me off. Everytime I go here with a book in mind, they never have it. Is that bad though? I think it…

4.0 of 5 stars. The Chicago Public Library, like many public libraries, has its own fair share of issues. What I don't think a lot of people realize is how lucky "we" are to have a regional library in our…

3.0 of 5 stars. This library is as quirky and amusing as the Lincoln Square neighborhood that houses it. Note the strange architecture, the creepy bas relief of Abraham Lincoln, and the Nordic furniture. Its…

Yelp.com Review - by Katarina X.

2.0 of 5 stars. I feel terrible giving a library a low rating. As far as literature goes- this selection has room to grow. And the crappy furniture needs improvement too- I'd be willing pay more in taxes for that…

4.0 of 5 stars. Now this is a real library. They have great book and media selections, ample computers and windows, and a great atmosphere on that second floor. This is a real place for research, and there are great…

3.0 of 5 stars. This building seems to be separated in two: the second floor is pleasantly quiet and clean with friendly librarians who are extremely fast in tracking down books that seem to have been misplaced. The…

4.0 of 5 stars. This is the second best library in the Chicago (right behind HW). They have a large selection of books, and they hold many seminars here. Check for a schedule.

Yelp.com Review - by Michael M.

3.0 of 5 stars. Compared to the gray, murky labrynth that is the Harold Washington Library, the Sulzer seems so much more bright. For one, the wide-open lobby is itself a space worthy of a comfy, no pressure hangout.…

3.0 of 5 stars. This library is a great place to study, but you have to get there early on the weekends to get a spot. I really wish CPL would open up earlier on Sundays. The book selection here is pretty basic,…

4.0 of 5 stars. I think this is the best library in Chicago, next to downtown H.W. The hours are great- usually open till 9pm, and open on Sundays.

3.0 of 5 stars. Okay, I can't really attest to the selection because I was just going there to study. I did make sure not to sit in the newspaper section by the window this time. It was freezing the last time I sat…

4.0 of 5 stars. This library is so much better than the Harold Washington downtown. It's much smaller, obviously, but it is the second largest library in the city. It's crammed with books, and I've had a much easier…

3.0 of 5 stars. Could be a really nice library but the pickin's seem a little slim and outdated to me, as they do in every other Chicago library. You'd think a city this size would have a better public library…

A virtual video store

The selection of books is good and you'll most likely find the volume you are looking for. The video and audio selection here is also pretty extensive. I found the staff to be helpful and mostly cheerful. When...
