Our annual Ex Libris fundraiser is a memorable evening of craft beverages and bites to benefit our libraries. Celebrate our area’s diverse, top-level food and beverage scene through a handcrafted menu of drinks and tasty dishes with a big dash of fun.
In addition to local food and beverage samples, Ex Libris will feature an online auction with an appealing array of items for book-lovers, foodies, and more. Guests can also make art in the Bubbler studio, sign up for a library card, and participate in a scavenger hunt to learn more about Madison Public Library over its 150-year history. Don’t miss this milestone celebration!
All event proceeds fund Madison Public Library efforts to spark literacy, foster curiosity, and support the community.
