Kress Family Branch Library

A few years ago, a library was built across from Shopko on Broadway Street. Because of its location, it usually had lots of people there when it was open. That is, of course, until they shortened their hour. They had the choice of either taking a week off or closing early every day, and they chose to close early. Now, instead of closing at nine at night, they close at five in the evening. Yes, they still have a bunch of people there, but they lost a lot of the town's youth. School gets out at three in the afternoon, and most teenagers that go to the library are the ones that really try to succeed in school, so they usually have after school groups and whatnot going on. Most of these students don't leave school until around five or five-thirty. So they'd keep missing it. But don't get me wrong, its a fantastic library with an amazing selection of books. more

While the Kress Family Library is by no means as large as the Brown County Library it is still a nice place. It is a nice intimate, cozy setting and has a great view. It is a great place to relax and read a book. They have a nice selection of books for all members of your family. more

The Kress Family Library in De Pere is beautiful inside and out. They have a wall of windows that overlooks the river, a fireplace, couches and tables, spiral iron staircase, and a park outside. The library is a little small, but still has many different books, categories, cds, and movies. They have a nice kids section too. There are even computers there for public use. more
