All Ages

We’ve got that!

There is so much more to our library’s story than books, music, and movies.

We’re sure you will discover a few surprises when you join us for games, crafts, demonstrations, scavenger hunt, treats, giveaways, and prizes.

The Lilies of the Midwest are a trio of Irish traditional musicians in the Madison, WI area.

Combining the unique sounds of concertina, mandolin, and fiddle, LotM inspire audiences with their infectious energy and joy.

They will be joined by Ohio-based guitarist Rick Nelson, who plays as an honorary lily when available.  

Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with Irish dance and music! Trinity Irish Dancers of Madison will perform and share how dance is part of Ireland’s history.

If you have a disability and require accommodation in order to fully participate, please contact library staff.

Each month we will have different featured items to paint. Models are available while supplies last on a first-come, first-served basis.

Kids 12 and younger may attend with a parent or guardian.
 

Each month we will feature different board games, as well as have other games for kids & families and teens & adults!

Feel free to bring a game to teach and play!

Games you bring to teach and play do not have to fit the theme of the month.

Some games we have at most game days include Astro Trash, Life, Connect Four, matching games, Chess, Uno, Dominos, Fluxx, Hi Ho! Cherry-O, and more!
