Series: 6. Model Cities Program, 1967-1974
: The Model Cities Program was a national program created by the Demonstration
Cities and Metropolitan Development Act of 1966. It was a part of President
Lyndon Johnson’s push to combat poverty. Model Cities was a 5-year program
with goals to reduce poverty and urban blight through more comprehensive
urban planning/rehabilitation, increase local resident involvement, and
increase access to social services and programs. The City of Milwaukee
created its own Model Cities Department to administer and organize this
project. The Library’s scope was to focus on offering additional library
activities in the Model Cities designated area to increase access to library
information, services and materials for those residents. Two additional
mobile book vans were added to the one operating Community Librarian van.
The van staff offered programs and books similar to the Community Librarian
Project. Vans made stops at locations such as day cares, group homes, senior
care facilities and schools. The larger task included creating six new fixed
library center locations within the Model Cities designated area. Centers
provided books, community rooms for meetings and programs. Transportation
was offered to residents in the Model Cities area to the library centers,
branches and Central Library. The program ran from 1970-1974. Library
centers opened in late 1971, after delays due to approval of sites. Mobile
vans were operational in late 1971. In 1974 the legislation that created the
Model Cities program ended and the Community Development Block Grants (CDBG)
program began replacing some of that funding.
