• the subsequent transition to digital resources and curbside service due to COVID-19

• the Madison Public Library Board's adoption of a fine-free policy in August for all patrons

• the Wisconsin Book Festival's highly successful virtual programming, with a focus on authors of color and social justice

• the outstanding flexibility and generosity of our donors, who enthusiastically supported our virtual Lunch for Libraries, Ex Libris in a box and other creative fundraising efforts

• ... and lots more!

Please register for our free presentation, which will take place on Friday, May 21, from 11:45 a.m.–1:15 p.m.
