The Madison Writing Assistance (MWA) program offers free, one-to-one writing support for community members at library branches throughout the city. Our friendly, experienced writing coaches are happy to help with writing projects across a wide range of genres, including resumes, cover letters, application essays, grant proposals, fiction writing, memoirs, and more.

Madison Public Library invites you and your families to the Goodman South Madison Library to get a FREE family portrait taken. Families and individuals can capture or commemorate this moment in time with their loved ones - bring along anyone you see as family (chosen family, special someones, aunties, etc.). We want to provide access to high-quality photography for all members of the community. 

Each family will receive:

• A 10-minute photo session with a professional photographer
• A digital copy of their family portrait

Keep in Mind:

• Limited to one registration per group.
• No library card is required.
• Space is limited and will go fast - reserve your session ASAP!
• The turnaround time on receiving your digital images is about 2 weeks.
• Photos are for personal use only. Please refrain from bringing props, logos, or other items for promotional purposes.
• Please note that it is against Madison Public Library's Behavior Policy to bring any animal into the library except service animals.

BIPOC families are especially encouraged to register, but all families are welcome.
