The mission of the South Milwaukee Public Library is to enhance the quality of life in South Milwaukee in a welcoming and innovative environment that provides information and ideas for lifelong learning and literacy. The City of South Milwaukee has had a library since 1917. In 1967, the current library building was built to serve the needs of its community. The library is governed by a 7 member library board.

We are a member of the Milwaukee County Federated Library System which is a consortium of 18 public library municipalities within Milwaukee County. Members of the system are able to share materials & resources with one another in an effort to expand library services to everyone in Milwaukee County. Stop by some time to see what we have to offer you! Or check out what we have planned for the future in our Strategic Plan.
