Did you know...

that a Friends of Madison Library Membership is $5 a year? The Friends is a nonprofit organization which provides financial support to the library. In past years, they have held fundraisers such as the Barn Tour and EE Cummings at Silver Lake that have enabled them to purchase materials, hold programs (like the storyteller this month) and provide new technology that keeps the library a vital and integral part of our community. Membership forms are available at the library. Please consider becoming a member.
