Coronavirus Notice: Madison Public Library Foundation cares deeply about the health and safety of our donors, friends, volunteers and staff. To prevent the transmission of COVID-19, the foundation office is closed, but staff are working remotely. If you need to get in touch, please call 608.266.6318 or send us a message. All Madison Public Library locations remain closed, but the library is offering curbside service for materials pickup and returns at all nine locations, plus a virtual library card, expanded digital collections and online programs. The Wisconsin Book Festival has shifted its programs to a virtual format, too. Visit the library website and wisconsinbookfestival.org for details.
