Milwaukee Public Library Offers Assistance During School Closings

Link to May 5 Milwaukee Journal Sentinel article, "Swine flu-related days off creating headaches for schools".

Excerpt: "When have we suggested that kids watch more TV except now?" Hanley said with a laugh, emphasizing that he was talking about programs such as those on the History Channel.

He said MPS is working with the Milwaukee Public Library to encourage kids to check out books, educational games and other materials.

Paula Kiely, director of the library system, said, "Parents and children can stop by at any time, and our librarians will be glad to help find anything they need."
