Oak Creek WI Public Library Come visit us at Drexel Town Square. The Oak Creek Public Library isn’t just a place for books. It is is a destination for lifelong learning.

The Oak Creek Public Library is dedicated to supporting the educational, civic, and cultural activities of individuals, groups, and organizations within the Oak Creek community. It is also dedicated to providing the opportunity for recreation through the use of literature, music, media, and other art forms. It is a place for people of all ages and backgrounds to gather and grow together. It is an institution that our citizens can be proud of and was designed to meet the changing information needs of our growing community. We are in the “heart” of Drexel Town Square, an 85-acre city center that is redefining the community. The building itself is a model of 21st century libraries—one that is a warm, inviting place to read and enjoy programs while offering cutting-edge technology and an innovative design. More than just a new look, the library offers new opportunities for learning by providing the community with an extensive collection of print and electronic resources, technology, and community activities.
