Do your cooped up kids need a warm, free place to run and be loud? Come experience Anji Play! In this weekly award-winning program kids lead the play while adults step back and observe with deep curiosity.  This educational approach rooted in True Play was created in Anji County in China. Madison Public Library is a pilot site for developing a library-based Anji Play model. Open to all ages. No registration required. 

A representative from the Wisconsin Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center will be tabling in the front the library from 10am until 12pm to recruit for a research study. For more information on the open studies at Wisconsin Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center, visit their website at https://www.adrc.wisc.edu/volunteer-study
