Children’s Grand Opening at Sequoya

April 14th, 2009 Tana

Celebrate National Library Week at the Sequoya Branch with the Grand Opening of the new Children’s Area! Join us on Saturday, April 18 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. for music, crafts and fun! At the event, children can attend a musical performance of Mr. Billy’s Rock & Roll Band at 10:30 a.m., meet Bucky Badger at 11:45 a.m., and participate in crafts and other children’s activities.

The children’s area of the new Sequoya Branch was funded through a major gift o $100,000 from the Madison Community Foundation. This gift supported the furnishings, décor, and play opportunities present in the large, sunny children’s area. The Madison Community Foundation has also granted Sequoya a $27,500 grant to develop a special children’s collection, The Art of the Picture Book, and established a challenge grant toward a Sequoya Branch Library endowment.
