I love libraries. My family goes at least once a week, and we even stop at libraries when we’re on vacation or out of town.

Madison, Wisconsin and the surrounding area is blessed with a lot of great libraries — each with its own look, feel and charm. Because there’s not a library really close to my house, I visit several different ones depending on what part of town I’m in and what type of experience I’m in the mood for.

Having said that, the library I’ve been spending most of my time at is the Verona Public Library. It’s a lovely, newer library with a design inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright. The staff is friendly, they have a great picture book selection — especially nonfiction — and there are beautiful, sunny areas to read. There’s even a castle inside with nooks and crannies for kids to curl up in.

But all those charms are overshadowed by my favorite thing about this library. This is the street it’s on:

Silent Street

I mean, how perfect is that? Where else would a library be?
