Library Development

Milwaukee Public Library is replacing four branch libraries with new library facilities that will be part of mixed-use projects. The four new facilities will help the city continue to improve library service and save ongoing operating costs, while anchoring catalytic community development projects for each of the neighborhoods and business districts in which the projects are located.

The libraries to be replaced are:

Mill Road/
Good Hope Project

The Good Hope Branch located at 7715 West Good Hope Road on Milwaukee’s Northwest Side opened on Wednesday, July 29, 2020.
