IN THE NEWS

Abstract

Milwaukee Public Is Studying Fees for Services. When the Milwaukee Public Library (MPL) realized that it was facing a shrinking tax base that could no longer provide sufficient funds for its books and materials budget, the Board of Trustees took action. In a recent conversation with Assistant City Librarian Kate Raab and Financial Development Officer Patty Peterson, The Bottom Line learned how, at the urging of its board, the MPL hired Growth Design—a local consulting firm — to investigate other public and possible private sources of funding.
