📚✨ Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Brown Bag event at the Martin Luther King Library!

We had a wonderful time learning from MPL's incredible team, Ha Hoang and Kristina Gomez, who shared the many resources, programs, and services available through Milwaukee Public Library. Their passion for serving as an anchor institution in Milwaukee's neighborhoods was truly inspiring.

A special thank you to Amy for leading a fantastic library tour and helping us explore all that this community treasure has to offer.

From discovering "100 Things to Explore at MPL" to learning about free resources like Freegal music streaming and the Libby app, attendees left with plenty of new ways to connect, learn, and explore.

Thank you for your enthusiasm and engagement—we loved spending the afternoon with you and look forward to seeing you at our next event! 💙📖

Be sure to support small businesses this month and throughout the year. They are the heart of local communities, creating jobs, fostering innovation, and keeping money within the local economy.

🌟 Celebrating Small Business Week!

At Bank On Greater Milwaukee, we know small businesses are at the heart of strong, thriving communities. From local food vendors to entrepreneurs building their dreams, these businesses create jobs, culture, and opportunity across our city.

We’re proud to highlight some of the incredible small businesses featured at UEDA’s Carnival Milwaukee 2026, where over 25 diverse, locally owned vendors came together to share their talents and flavors with the community. 🍽️

This week and beyond, we encourage you to support small, support local, and invest in the businesses that make Milwaukee unique. View the list of this year's Food Tasting participants here: https://www.uedawi.org/uncategorized/2026-carnival-milwaukee/
