After you’ve sung your heart out, stick around and dance till you drop to amazing music from Africa, Asia, South America, Europe. Can’t get your feet working? It’s OK to just watch.

Jam Session: Ukes and Guitars are Stars!
Bring your ukulele, bring your guitar, strum, chat, and relax. There’s no set structure here, no planned tunes, no stress, just a low-key musical gathering. Hang out, strum, pick, and get a few extra points for adult summer reading. You don’t have to be an adult to participate. Anyone who’s ready for musical fun is welcome. Other instruments are also welcome.

Star Party with Madison Library District’s New Telescope
– Or maybe Moon Party is a more appropriate term as the moon will be full and glowing obscurely those other lesser night lights. Come take a peak through a telescope at the craters and plains of our closest celestial neighbor. Thanks to the Madison Library Foundation for providing funds that allowed us to purchase this telescope!
If you have a telescope, please bring it to share. The more the merrier is decidedly the rule for any star party!
All activities will meet in the community room.

We’re about to start our next Seasonal Reading Challenge!
Each season (Winter, Spring, and Fall) a new challenge with a series of reading related tasks is posted. Each task is assigned a point level and then it’s up to you to decide which tasks you’ll attempt (or if you want to try to finish them all) and then find the books that fit. This challenge is a great way to discover new books as well as to have a chance to win some great prizes.
The Spring Challenge runs from March 1 through May 31. Any books read during that time period can be used to complete tasks. For example, if you don’t join until May 1st, you can still count any book you’ve read since March 1.
The Challenge is open to any patron over the age of 10 who has a library card at the Madison Library District. When you join, please give us your library card number, so we can verify you are one of our patrons. We have a Goodreads table in the library with brochures explaining how to play and books that fit some of the tasks. You can chose to play with paper forms (which will be available on the Goodreads table) or online at The Madison Library District Goodreads Seasonal Challenge.
If you have any questions feel free to ask a librarian next time you visit the library. We hope you’ll all play!
