📖 About Greenfield Public Library
The Greenfield Public Library serves the Milwaukee County suburb of Greenfield, Wisconsin, from its building at 5310 West Layton Avenue on the city's south side. It is a member of the Milwaukee County Federated Library System (MCFLS), a countywide network of 15 public libraries founded in 1973, and shares the CountyCat catalog — so a Greenfield card also borrows from Milwaukee Public Library and every other MCFLS member. Alongside its book, movie and music collections, the library has leaned into practical lending: a growing Library of Things, checkout-ready Explore Passes to local attractions, and a Holds Hub smart locker for round-the-clock pickup. Free digital access runs through Wisconsin's Digital Library (Libby), hoopla and the state-funded BadgerLink databases.
