Coronavirus Notice: Madison Public Library Foundation cares deeply about the health and safety of our donors, friends, volunteers and staff. We’re closely and constantly monitoring information from the State of Wisconsin, as well as Public Health of Madison & Dane County, to do our part to prevent the transmission of novel coronavirus (COVID-19). The foundation office is closed to walk-in traffic, but staff are working remotely. If you need to get in touch, please call 608.266.6318 or send us a message. Our Lunch for Libraries spring fundraiser with Mark Bittman has been postponed; it is our hope that we can reschedule it for later in the year. Additionally, with all Madison Public Library locations closed, the library is offering a virtual library card and a variety of online collections, as well as virtual programs. There are several Wisconsin Book Festival virtual events planned, too. Visit the library website and wisconsinbookfestival.org for details. Looking for a way to support the library? Please give to our digital collections fund.
