Get Loud For Libraries

A Community Engagement Report | Published January 2024

Project Background

In January 2023, the Milwaukee Public Library (MPL) initiated its "Community Conversations With The City Librarian" sessions, marking the beginning of a broad community engagement effort. This project was a response to possible budget cuts in Milwaukee. To enhance and deepen this engagement, MPL also launched the "Get Loud for Libraries" campaign, a complementary initiative designed to expand the collection of community insights and input.
