It can be difficult and challenging for people to figure out where they can go to talk, ask questions, and exchange ideas on issues of the day without finding themselves in the midst of a heated debate. Public libraries can provide that neutral ground and help its citizenry become informed and engaged, but how do we go about this? What trends can we anticipate? Register for this program and find out. Bring your questions and share your experiences.
This program is sponsored by the public library systems in Southeastern Wisconsin: Eastern Shores Library System, Kenosha County Library System, Lakeshores Library System, Mid-Wisconsin Federated Library System, Milwaukee County Federated Library System, Waukesha County Federated Library System, and UW-Milwaukee SOIS.
