At the corner of Locust Street and King Drive, there’s a sense of purpose, happiness and hope. That’s because theHarambee neighborhood is welcoming back a community anchor: the new Martin Luther King, Jr. branch of the Milwaukee Public Library (MPL), its modern façade brighter, bigger and more inviting for all to enter.
For this episode, podcast host Kim Shine was in the mix for a very big day for the Milwaukee Public Library. Its MLK branch got a major upgrade that adds to the revitalization currently happening along King Drive. It was a day of joy and celebration as the community came together at the state-of-the- art-facility on the city’s north side.
