Topeka & Shawnee County Public Library, Topeka

The TPL is one of my favorite places to go with my kids. It free, the staff are friendly. My kids have a wonderful time. Very organized and easy to find things. Very large selection of book, movies, audiobooks, and more.

Lately the Lawrence library seems to be catering to certain groups and topics. So we chose to switch to Topeka and we're extremely glad that we did. There are a lot more books and movies to choose from so each visit is a treasure hunt. The children's librarians are amazing and go out of there way to help. On our last visit my daughter was looking for some books and the librarian couldn't find them. After looking in other parts of the library the librarian still couldn't find them. Instead she found books on the same topics for her to enjoy until the others were found. It's not just the kids staff it's the whole library staff that is amazing.

Great place! I was waiting on family at the nearby hospital. This was a great place to hang out. There is a Cafe and store. The art exhibit is always changing. Mask are required and some spaces have limited the amount of people allowed. Many private areas to use by yourself or with a few people. I added a photo of something I have never seen before, baking ware to check out! Need a character shaped pan for 1 party? You don't have to buy it, borrow it! Love this idea. Thanks for having a calming place to relax during a stressful time.

Wonderful local library! They have helpful staff and everything you could need. Computers, tax forms, and community outreach. An art gallery and guided learning centers. Can’t recommend it enough.

Fantastic place to relax &/or have a business meeting ~ electronic setup is fantastic too!
