The February 2018 issue of The Municipality features Tweets full of library love from library users, articles describing how libraries are serving as community centers with specific examples, and testimonies from Wisconsin Library Association Executive Director Plumer Lovelace,
Marathon County Public Library Director Ralph Illick, and others on how “Libraries Matter More Than Ever” and “Libraries are Working.”
