1209<h4 class="sub-header-blue">Welcome to your Milwaukee Public Library</h4>
1210
1211<p>MPL is an anchor institution that helps build healthy families and vibrant neighborhoods &ndash; the foundation of a strong Milwaukee. The Milwaukee Public Library Board of Trustees and library staff chose this mission statement to reflect the library&#39;s devotion to its neighborhoods and the people of Milwaukee. Library staff serve their patrons where they live - in the heart of their neighborhood. Staff learn their reading habits and preferences, they are aware of assignments and curricula in neighborhood schools, they become familiar with databases and online resources that are needed most by patrons for job searches, college applications, lifelong learning, and adult caregiving. From story times to retirement planning, the library is committed to its neighborhood patrons in every aspect of life.</p>
1212
1213<p>Milwaukee Public Libraries are in the neighborhood. We look forward to seeing you!</p>
