Check It Out

We have partnered with the American Red Cross to host two blood drives this summer. Only guests with scheduled appointments will be allowed into the building. We encourage masks, and the Red Cross will provide a mask if you don't have one. Donors can enter the Central Library building through the Fairchild Street doors. 

All Madison Public Library locations will be closed Saturday, July 4 for Independence Day.

Curbside pickup, item returns, computing, and phone reference will not be available that day, but you can still use LINKcat to place holds, check your record, or renew items you've checked out.

This is the perfect time to check out our always-accessible online collections and OverDrive ebooks and downloadable audiobooks.

Madison Public Library stands with the members of our community who demand change and condemn violence and racism toward people of color. 

We've re-imagined the typical Summer Reading Program this year. The new We Read program is a celebration of reading that everyone is invited to participate in - no matter what kind of reading you’re doing!
