Events Calendar

This sale takes place at the Friends of Sequoya Bookshop, 6672 Odana Road

On the first Saturday of each month, Friends of Sequoya Book Sales take place at our shop located at 6672 Odana Road in Market Square (next to Play-it-Again Sports.) Months with five Saturdays also have a "bonus" sale on Third Saturdays!
At this time, for the safety of our customers and volunteers, masks are not required but are encouraged.

READ and PLAY together with children under age 5! Engaging with books, songs and playful experiences all help children develop communication skills, patience, empathy, and pre-reading skills​ and helps to build a lifelong love of reading. Library programs are always free. All older and younger siblings as well as childcare groups welcome.

Join The Kids Chef, Lily Kilfoy, for a series of cooking classes for school-age kids, tweens, and their families. Participants will learn about different foods, where they come from, how to follow recipes, and how to use a variety of tools.  Registration is not required, but participation will be limited to the first 25 attendees. Food generously provided by Willy St. Co-op North.

Join us any time between 2-4 for drop in STEAM exploration for children ages 6 and under. Experiment with color mixing, engineer contraptions and towers, explore with magnets, and marvel at the science magic of mirrors and light. We'll host a series of different activities and stations all around 1 topic on the 1st Saturday of the month June - September. This is a great opportunity to explore and engage with your little one(s) in a low stakes learning environment, and have a ton of fun too! 

Please join us for our celebration of menstruation! Public Health of Madison and Dane County will be joining us to provide an informational presentation about menstruation. Following the presentation we will be eating "period craving" favorites such as pizza and chocolate and making our own period "go bags". This program is open to kids, teens, and their families.

Local doula and artist Ashley Hartman Annis will also provide free copies of her "Awesome Ovaries" zine for attendees to take home. We're excited to partner with Madison Metropolitan Sewerage District(link is external), as well. They will provide information on how to safely dispose of period products so that they don't impact our sewer and wastewater systems.

Registration is requested. Please sign up on the event calendar or call Meadowridge Library at (608) 288-6160 for assistance.
