The Milwaukee Public Library is a public library system in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, that has served as a cornerstone of community education and information since its founding in 1878. It operates 13 locations and offers access to a collection exceeding three million items, available in both physical and digital formats, along with technology, classes, exhibitions, and programming. The library serves more than one million patrons annually, with additional resources accessible online at mpl.org. Its programs are supported by a combination of public and private funding. As part of the information services sector, MPL provides free access to educational resources, technology, and community programming for Milwaukee residents and the broader public. A recent development is a partnership with the Betty Brinn Children's Museum to expand literacy-based programming for families visiting the museum's exhibit.
