| Villard Avenue Library, located at 3310 W. Villard Avenue, opened in
1968. Originally named North Milwaukee Library after the village in
which it was situated, the library was renamed the Villard Avenue Library
in 1994.
The centerpiece of Villard Avenue's collection is a thoughtfully
developed video library of over 2,300 feature films focusing on the
classic cinema of the 1930s and 1940s, together with a selection of
popular current videos to appeal to a wide audience of library users.
A strong book collection on film, film-making, actors and directors
compliments the films. Villard also boasts a collection of books-on-tape,
a strong children's collection featuring Preschool Outreach Learning
Kits and a well-rounded multicultural young adult collection with
popular African-American titles.
"Nestled in the heart of the near northwest side
of Milwaukee, Villard Avenue Library serves a richly multicultural
neighborhood by providing a wide variety of over 90,000 books, videos,
and other multimedia materials."
