Fundraisers
Madison Public Library Foundation hosts two annual fundraising events: Lunch for Libraries in the spring and Ex Libris in the fall.
Lunch for Libraries includes networking, an author talk and a simple but elegant lunch. Proceeds support the Wisconsin Book Festival’s free, year-round author programming as well as Madison Public Library youth literacy efforts. Our 2025 event — scheduled for Tuesday, April 29, at Monona Terrace Convention Center — will feature Abraham Verghese, author of the best-selling novel The Covenant of Water.
Ex Libris is a celebration of local craft beverages and culinary creations. Our 2025 event is scheduled for November 7. Ex Libris proceeds support Madison Public Library collections, services and programs.
