The Milwaukee Public Library was honored for its "Excellence in Individual Teamwork" by the Milwaukee-based Public Policy Forum recently as one of its 2007 "Salute to Local Government" award winners.
The management team at the Milwaukee Public Library partnered with the Northwestern Mutual Foundation as the primary private source of funding to provide free computer training programs at the Central Library and several neighborhood libraries. For those seeking to upgrade employment skills or those without computer access at home, the programs are invaluable. All classes are taught as hands-on instruction in a computer lab. Each class is two hours long, and students adhere to a curriculum and receive a certificate upon completion.
