From April 7 to April 13, National Library Week will be celebrated at Madison Public Library and throughout the city. This year’s theme nationally is “Libraries = Strong Communities,” and events over the course of the week will highlight ways to get involved -- both for library regulars or as first time patrons.

The Nourish You: Self-Care Retreat is for women who don’t always feel included in mainstream self-care offerings.
