Events Calendar

Come to the Goodman South Library for a free vision screening by the Madison Central Lions!

There is no age limit however we do request that minors are accompanied by a guardian.

Madison Central Lions have been serving Madison since 1922.

Join local author, DeShala Walker, for a reading of her children’s book, Staying the Course: A Story about Trauma, Healing and Finding a Voice in the Middle of Silence.  The reading will be accompanied by related, engaging activities and a discussion of what children should do when scary things happen.  The first 10 participants will receive a free book, and there will be books available for purchase.  

DeShala Walker is a School Social Worker, and over the years, she has listened to many students share their experiences with scary events, particularly those involving unwanted touches. These conversations inspired her to write a children's book titled, Staying The Course: A Story about Trauma, Healing, and Finding a Voice in the Middle of the Silence.  Written from personal experience and professional expertise, this book shares Walker’s story and serves as a guide for children on how to cope with and talk about traumatic experiences.

Songs full of movement and activity for young children (ages birth to 5) to engage both their bodies and voices. The little ones will be on their feet, moving to the beat with Lady Jay, and they will have an amazing fully energized experience! 

The Munch Mobile Lunch Van will make a stop at Lakeview Library on Saturdays this fall.  All people in and around the library can get a free lunch between 12:00 and 12:20pm.
