I'm sorry that you did not have a good group study experience at the library. We really don't have spaces for groups larger than 4 unless you use a meeting room. Our budget situation has required that we charge for meeting spaces. I know that did not work for the number of people in your group but I hope you will give us another try for an occasion where you might have a smaller group.

Great library; especially if you want to relax and read or use a computer. Always helpful staff will assist with any needs and will order materials if they are not already there. This is a wonderful asset to the community.

I am so glad that you had a great visit at the library. I wanted to point out though that there are no additional costs or fees to use the library. Champaign residents get a card for free. Card holders from all other area libraries can present their home library card at the Check Out Desk and be added to our system at no charge. - Kristina

I was very impressed with the Public Library in Champaign. The building itself is a master piece of architecture, with lots of natural light. The library collections are impressive, especially the newspapers and magazines section. Also, the staff is friendly and helpful.

The Champaign Public Library is just a few years old. It sits on the site of the former building. It is a really great space making use of lots of natural light, a coffee shop, self-checkout stations, etc. You can reserve rooms and computer time for whatever you might need or you can easily find a comfortable, quieter space to relax and read. Materials can be reserved online as well as being able to check out music CDs and DVDs. Plenty of parking is available as well and there is an automated materials return at the back of the building.

Of course if you are a resident this library is worth a visit to obtain one of the fiction or non-fiction titles. However, this library is worth a visit to experience the openness of the contemporary building. The exterior has a rain garden, the interior has a number of sustainable materials, e.g. bamboo flooring, There is a coffee shop and pleasant indoor eating area. There is a pleasant patio where you can sit in the fresh air. Free Wi-Fi might make it a convenient stop for a number of reasons.
