The Library is Physically Closed but Open for Digital Business
The Madison Public Library is committed to our mission statement during this difficult time. Our doors are closed but we still want to serve our community. We would like to highlight our digital collections and answer any questions our patrons may have. These resources are the same as our physical collections, all you need is a library card. Here are some of the great resources that are just a few clicks away.
