The library is currently raising money to be able to offer Explorer Passes for 2025. With your help, we will be able to offer passes to local attractions such as the Milwaukee County Zoo, the Milwaukee Art Museum, and more! With these passes, you can bring your family or friends to check out some of the best attractions Milwaukee has to offer, for free! We are hoping to raise $3,000. Donation boxes are at all check out desks on the first floor. Every penny helps! If you’d like to donate online, you can do so here: https://countycat.mcfls.org/donate – please put “Explorer Pass Fundraiser” in the comments section to help us make sure all donations go to the right place.
