The Milwaukee Public Library runs the city's branch libraries [mpl]. # When and how Opening hours and rules differ from place to place. Each listed place's page gives the hours and the details its sources state. # How a place gets on this list Public places are listed under the [inclusion rule](/about/inclusion-rule) when they would make less sense anywhere else, and the editor rules on borderline cases; each page cites at least two sources, and the editor and the [Neighborhood Mayors](/mayors) check new places and corrections [editorial-policy]. # Listed places 0 places listed. No places listed yet. # On record Little Milwaukee builds each record here from public data, such as City of Milwaukee licenses, and files it under this category. A record is not a listing: a place is listed only when it passes the inclusion rule and has its own page. 71 records on file. Full list: [Libraries on record](https://littlemilwaukee.com/places/libraries/records). | Name | Address | Status | Hearts | Is this local? | | --- | --- | --- | ---: | --- | | [American Geographical Society Library](https://littlemilwaukee.com/records/american-geographical-society-library-89fd82) | 2311 E Hartford Ave, Milwaukee | | 0 | | | [Atkinson Branch](https://littlemilwaukee.com/records/atkinson-branch-74086f) | 1960 W Atkinson Ave, Milwaukee | | 0 | | | [Atkinson Library](https://littlemilwaukee.com/records/atkinson-library-730c13) | 1960 W Atkinson Ave, Milwaukee | | 0 | | | [Bay View Branch](https://littlemilwaukee.com/records/bay-view-branch-873967) | 2566 S Kinnickinnic Ave, Milwaukee | | 0 | | | [Brown Deer Public Library](https://littlemilwaukee.com/records/brown-deer-public-library-2b6c03) | 5600 W Bradley Rd, Brown Deer | | 0 | | | [Brown Deer Public Library](https://littlemilwaukee.com/records/brown-deer-public-library-ca06ee) | 4301 W Brown Deer Rd, Brown Deer | | 0 | | | [Capitol Library](https://littlemilwaukee.com/records/capitol-library-5091ad) | 3969 N 74th St, Milwaukee | | 0 | | | [Center Street Library](https://littlemilwaukee.com/records/center-street-library-d606b2) | 2727 W Fond Du Lac Ave, Milwaukee | | 0 | | | [Central Library Drive-Up](https://littlemilwaukee.com/records/central-library-drive-up-1e56bb) | | | 0 | | | [Cudahy Family Library](https://littlemilwaukee.com/records/cudahy-family-library-27a765) | 3500 Library Dr, Cudahy | | 0 | | | [Daniel M.
