Partnership Opportunities

At Milwaukee Public Library (MPL), we believe great things happen when we work together. Partnerships help us expand services, create engaging programs, and connect more people to resources that enrich their lives.

Why Partner with Us?

MPL partners with organizations that share our commitment to education, literacy, and community engagement. Together, we can create meaningful programs, respond to community needs, and expand access to valuable resources. By collaborating, we amplify our impact and connect more people to the services that matter most. [Partnership Policy]

Guidelines for Partnership 

To ensure successful collaborations, partnerships should have:

• Mutual Benefit: Partnerships should offer advantages to all involved parties.
• Community Focus: Initiatives should serve the interests of Milwaukee residents.
• Resource Sharing: Both MPL and partners should contribute resources such as time, space, or expertise.
• Adherence to Policies: All partners must comply with MPL's Code of Conduct and Meeting Spaces Policy.

Getting Started

Organizations interested in partnering with MPL are encouraged to submit a Partnership Application. If you’d like to host an information table, fill out our Tabling Application.

Applications can be submitted online or in person at any MPL branch. Applications are reviewed biweekly, and we recommend submitting at least two months in advance.

Let’s work together to build a stronger, more connected Milwaukee!
