MTEF’s Little Tennis Libraries is a new initiative focused on making the sport of tennis more available and approachable in Milwaukee.

The idea is super simple, similar to the little book libraries you can find all over. We have put out libraries (aka bins) at 12 area tennis courts. Each Little Tennis Library is filled with racquets, balls and information about the sport. Community members can borrow what they need and return it to the bin for the next person.

Little Tennis Libraries will be out from early May to early October (depending on the weather).

If you have gotten to this page because you have used a Little Tennis Library: Welcome! We hope that you had fun playing tennis! Please post pictures on your social media and tag us.
