Bookless Is January 28

Say goodbye to the old Central Library on January 28 at Bookless, a community celebration in the empty building featuring a one-day only art show by 100 local artists. Pieces inspired by library space and materials range from paintings to oversize installations to live performances. Hands on activities like a public painting wall let you transform the 45-year old library into a work of art.
 
Join us early in the day from 10am - 2 pm for the FREE Family Free-for-All featuring hands on art activities for kids like an interactive painting wall, library Dewey card stamping station and make your own 'Zine from recycled books. Don't miss Yid Vicious performing at 1 pm!
 
Party in the Stacks begins after 7 pm with Live Music on the Project Lodge stage and DJ sets in the basement stacks. Purchase food creations from Underground Food Collective, craft cockatils by Merchant, and Great Dane beer.  Tickets $10 in advance or $12 at the door of the Central Library at 201 West Mifflin Street.
 
Proceeds benefit Madison Public Library Foundation's Learning for a Lifetime: The Community Campaign for a New Central Library.
