Freedom to Read
Individuals have the right to choose, for themselves and their families, books from all points of view without restriction.

The MPPL Digital Creative Workstation now includes audio equipment to transfer analog recordings to CDs or digital file formats using our Mac Studio computers.

As of January 1, cardholders in good standing will have credits for 200 pages of black and white printing and copying, or 80 pages of color printing and copying, or a combination of black and white and color.
