Summer Library Carnival a Success!

August 8th, 2008 Barb D.

Young Madisonians had a splendid time on Wednesday, August 6th, at the Summer Library Carnival hosted by the
Central Library and Overture Center for the Arts. See the pictures on our Flickr site.

Over 1,375 kids and grownups participated in the festivities. I would like to thank our venue, Overture Center for the Arts, as well as our event sponsors: Madison Public Library Foundation, Friends of Madison Public Library, and our other summer library program sponsors: Olbrich Botanical Gardens, Goodman Pool, Rocky Rococo’s Pizza, Noodles & Company, Madison Mallards Baseball, Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, Friends of the Sequoya Branch Library, Friends of the Alicia Ashman Branch Library, and the South Central Library System.

I would also like to thank our Youth Services staff and their volunteers, who received compliments from happy partygoers on the many activities and the excellent organization. Thank you for your hard work and dedication - and rest up before the next big event at Olbrich Gardens on Tuesday, August 19!
