- Anonymous Patron writes "Some Interesting News our of Milwaukee, Wiconsin, where The Wauwatosa Public Library is taking preliminary steps toward leaving the Milwaukee County Federated Library System. Such a split would be a first in the 30-year history of Wisconsin's federated library systems, according to the state.
